Last night, we experienced a terrible thunderstorm. The sky was lit up with sheets of lightning that illuminated the entire horizon. Bright blue-white bolts of lightning struck the ground in an awesome display. It was the sort of night that makes one glad to be indoors.
The storm was over by the morning, and all that was left to show of it was trash scattered and boughs broken off of trees. A few coworkers had stories of power outages that lasted for a few minutes, but nobody was harmed.
This is the sort of storm that I like - a storm that humbles one with a reminder of the power of nature without causing terrible harm.
