I saw green lightning. Never want to see it again.<br /><br />And yes, while the gutters were being torn off my house it did sound like a freight train going by. Exactly like a train.sig94https://www.blogger.com/profile/11460563552989533923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921935853428237245.post-14739869149137219982013-09-25T13:03:56.132-04:002013-09-25T13:03:56.132-04:00I've had two go very closely right over variou...I've had two go very closely right over various places I have lived, once as a kid. Ripped up parts of the town, and possibly nicked the home unless that was large debris. The other never hit, but I heard it go over. Was too tired to get in the tub, not sure I believe that story anyway, didn't have a basement. Yeah, it's loud. Though after it passes it gets really quiet.<br /><br />No tornadoes here though. After three near hits in Iowa City, per year... I'm glad for the loss, if I do miss the magnificent thunderstorms that can bring them.Doomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392444624210801173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921935853428237245.post-55999808041731754992013-09-24T22:25:36.842-04:002013-09-24T22:25:36.842-04:00One of these missed our house by 3 miles.
