This report from WinfieldMom (her screen name on the blog:
That was some of the most intense lightning I’ve ever seen! The thunder was unbelievably loud, too. It was just constant and the storms, starting at about 11:55 (here in Winfield), just seemed to line up like a train, going and going all night.
I’m betting a lot of people in this area were late for school and work today. Our power blipped at 4:30 or so, messing up all the clocks in the house–making the husband late for work!

MEANWHILE
Despite one of our (baddest) (worst) (most prolonged) heat waves, Margie Richardson, Skywatcher for Rainbow City continues to manufacture hot chocolate like it is going out of style. I have never met her but, based on intelligence reports, she has to be the world’s number one fan of hot chocolate!
