I just happen to look out my back door when this happened. I saw 2 fire trucks driving by. Lightening is everywhere.

Did not seem to be too bad over here on Town Creek Dr. (YET)

Usually, the dark clouds and lightening are in front of my house. Today, it's all in the back, over the Park.

It's nice in Valley Lee

I'll take your house struck by lightening in Leonardtown and raise you, 2 houses and 1 person struck by lightening in Dunkirk. All okay, person was not injured (lucky) and houses were not damaged. Also, numerous trees down and on fire. Storms, yikes.
