Oh My Stars and Garters
Apr. 10th, 2004 09:18 pmJust a little bit ago, as I was contemplating the Wrath of Moi, we had a brief instance of the Wrath of God. Blinding actinic flash. Clap of thunder so loud and close it felt like a bomb going off. Dogs freaked. Cats disappeared. Horses, being Warhorses, didn't seem to mind too much.
I still have a headache from it. And no, there aren't any flames or any signs of emergency action, which there would be if, say, somebody's propane tank had blown up. This was good old hot air meets cold air go boom.
YOW.

Both Rob and I jumped out of bed and I ripped our bedroom door open to face Tamar running out of her room, and at the same time all three of us said, "What the f___ was that?!?"
It wasn't even raining, but it was clear that lightning had just hit the courtyard. Needless to say, we didn't get much more sleep that night...
