A bit after 2, a thunderstorm blew into the area. I work in a corner office in a high-rise, and the subsequent special effects were about like being inside a flashcube. Lightning struck a power pole just across the street. The transformer glowed briefly, then poured out smoke. Power and phone were shot, so I let everyone out of the office at 3:30.

I miss a good thunderstorm. The missus and I spent most of our lives in Texas and so saw some real bangers over the years. Here in Portland we're protected to the east and west by mountain ranges. We've heard a handful of rumbles in the nearly 11 years we've been here. Bah!
Not that I'd relish being on the bike in the middle of a real frog-floater!
