We’ve gotten nailed by some hard thunderstorms lately… One of which I had to drive through on the way home from work on Friday.

I wasn’t home for more than 30 minutes when the big pine in our front yard got hit.

We were all standing in the dining room, (about 40 feet from impact), when it happened.

All I can really remember is a huge flash of pink light, a deafening “crack” and the front windows getting pelted with pits of bark.

The tree, if it survives, now has a perfectly straight scar down the front of it…. A lot of plants in the front bed cooked.

Other than that the only other victim from the strike was our internet service which is still down.

I suppose it doesn’t matter… It’s not like I have a blog or anything.
