[Steppes] Riding on the storm

[Wilkerson, Glen D]

Sounds cool - but I'll see your light show and raise you the view looking
west over Grand Prairie and Arlington from the top of the hill coming off
Spur 408 onto I-20.  I was looking DOWN on the blue flashes as transformers
blew...

It was a wild ride up the toll way. Everyone seems to forget how to drive on
wet pavement when lighting decides to give us a show.

But it was incredible! The most spectacular one was when I saw a blue glow
in the clouds then a bright flash on the ground a mile in front of me and 9
white bolts of lighting reaching for the clouds from the spot on the ground
to meet the blue glow.

It is an image that I am not likely to forget for a very long time and will
attempt to put to canvas soon....

The ride home had us poor cars surrounded with lines of lightening every
where I looked, every inch of me tingled with electricity by the time I got
home.

No damage to the car that I could see or to our home. But my cat, man, poor
thing got left outside, his long hair was definitely on end. Lectured hubby
when we got in .... ;)
