Quite the light show. Based on the radar I thought I had enough time to wander up the hill to a field to get out of the oppressive lights. A very cool few minutes. Spidey sense told me it was time to go and about 30 seconds after turning back hurricane gusts started. Not a ton of rain and I was fine to run home (downhill!), but within the 3 minutes I spent at the hill the lightning went from a relatively far off 180 degree wall SE-S-SW to 360 degree encirclement of Broadcast Hill. Pretty cool...and just a little scary, but sometimes it's worth doing things that you know are stupid! I was 95% sure I would find myself running (not jogging) home when I set out.
Storms are awesome (except for the home ownership part).
