... and I was driving back from a friends house near 10pm. Torrential rains, rattling thunder and brilliant lightening made the going rough ...
I passed by a hastily abandoned fair ground. People were running to shelter under wind-swept umbrellas. Others were otherwise soaked to the skin. All the lights on the fairgrounds were ablaze. The ferris wheel was still turning ...
Once home I peered thru the gloom of the night out over the lake and saw that the lovely old blue spruce on the lake edge had been STRUCK. Horror of horrors. it is a mere 20 feet from the house!!! The next morning I had to arrange for the tree to COME DOWN. Immediately.
A fantastic 'tree guy' came to the rescue at 8am. In a rare feat of confident courage he felled that old tree.
We have had much thunder & lightening for the month of June. Much.
