we didn't get hit too hard, but the wind must have been crazy.
When Mike and I got home, the shower curtain was blown all the way open and a shampoo bottle got blown off the shelf!
also our garbage can was totall tipped over and a patio chair was knocked over.
crazy.
I wish I coulda seen that blast come through!
awesome lightning storm too!

Nice! Nothing like turning the 'tour into a boat. I was in Groton driving home from work and the side of the road was one giant river... which sucked because of all the silty [censored] that was being thrown up on my roof/windshield/hood.
Thank god for a well-designed splashguard system. All I could think of was getting the plug wires wet and killing the car. --why I used to love driving diesels.

We were at Home Depot in Hooksett when the worst of it passed through. We decided to wait inside until the rain slowed down. By the time we got home it was pouring again. It made the yard work a little tough to get done.

I was thinking the same sh*t when I was watching the lightning from my house. They say lightning never strikes the same spot twice, but I'm not convinced. 
I stared at the same spot in the sky for 5 mins and I saw lighting continue to come down in the same spot the whole time.

Actually I think because the area where the lightening came down in already pre-charged, it has a higher chance of striking in that same general area then eslewhere... but I could be mistaking.
The scariest was when I was sailing up from the Cape back to Gloucester 2 years ago and a squall line moved offshore from Boston. You've never experienced a lightening storm until you have it striking the water 200 feet from your boat, and you're the only 35 foot aluminum mast in what appeared to be a 10 mile radius.
