We were sleeping peacefully when all of a sudden there was a brilliant flash then KERBLAM! All three cats flew off the bed and I was right after them. This happened a couple of hours after my weather alert radio went off for a severe thunderstorm that was about 20 miles south of me. Not a restful night. Rosie and I just got back from our walk and the air was so humid you could practically wring it out. Oh, joy. It's going to be insufferable later.
