I was sitting in the living room when it hit, working on my GFG quilt and I jumped, screamed, and quilt pieces went flying!! Scarry stuff!! Then yesterday, DH and I were just pulling into a shop parking lot when a bolt hit right behind the store, but this time, it was pouring rain, unlike when it hit our house. I'm ready to come home!!
