The other night, somewhere around Cottage Grove, on my way home from work, the lightning was so big, it was about the size of my thumb at arms length. But what made it so sugoi, was that I could not hear it at all! Last night it was west of my house. I hope it isn't zeroiing in on my house.
Without a turbine running now, if we have troubles because of lightning, we have nothing to help keep us from going in the dark. Oh, well, nothing I can do about it.
