Awesome Storm

For those of you who live outside the valley, this is what we endured last night.
IT WAS AWESOME!

This is a tiny portion of what we saw in our home. What you hear is the heavy rainstorm. Don't worry this is taken from Alyssa's open window.



The newscasters said that this was the most violent storm that the
valley has gotten in quite some time. When I checked the news at 10,
the lightning strike count was well over 10,000 strikes. There were
three waves: First, just lightning strikes, cloud to cloud. Second,
Rain and cloud to cloud lightning. Third wave was extremely dangerous
with massive rain and cloud to ground lightning. The Weather Channel
had a scroll across the bottom telling anyone outside to seek shelter
immediately. Here's the dumb question... If there is a severe
thunderstorm warning, do you grab the TV and go outside to watch it
until they tell you to seek shelter? Kind of a Duh...

Totally crazy stormage. There was a tree in my work parkinglot that was uprooted and dragged about 30 feet. It left a scratch on the asphalt. Kinda crazy that we get hurricane forces with around 10 minutes warning.
