On a separate note, last night was a beautiful light show to the west...almost non-stop lightning with the bolts totally hidden behind a huge cloud bank. Very cool. Did you happen to see it? I tried to post a video but ToTV (understandably) wouldn't allow it. A still simply wouldn't have done it justice.
I didn't see it....wish I had. One time when we lived in CA, a HUGE thunderhead formed over the desert. The cloud was like a strobe light, lightning flashes, one after the other for a couple of hours. We were lucky enough to see if from our house. It was so beautiful. A San Diego tv station even had a helicopter out taking live video of it for the news.

It's nice to be able to see such light shows without being in danger. Could you hear thunder or was it that far away?
