Not even 15 minutes after the shot above....we started heading back towards Sharons house....and I started hearing a bit of a rumble....and a siren!

I thought there were emergency vehicles...but no...Sharon told me about the severe storm warning sirens. I was very calm about it....and we headed back.

And then....it happened! WOW! I haven't seen anything like this since I lived in Florida and was little.

The one shot, we are parked under the overpass because it was so nasty and we really couldn't see much. Deciding we better make a break for it....we left.

These pictures are of where we had been 15 minutes sooner....with Betty sitting at the waterfront! Can you believe it!

And after we left there and headed back to Sharons, not 3 miles from her turnoff....we saw a big flash of light. We knew then there would be no power getting home...a transformer had exploded.
