Happened just as we were about to turn on TV to watch the Bruins crush the Canucks ! Saw the last period in hotel room.
Ah, but it's another beautiful day in The Villages !
Listen to the warnings.
Mudder - Glad no one was hurt !! Hope the damage is minimal and is repaired quickly.
That lightning strike must have been what I saw from our kitchen window. I had just gotten back from walking the dog, saw the flash, heard the sound a millisecond later and jumped out of my chair - as did the cat who freaked out.
