We had some severe thunderstorms move through Ga. today. It was a little after 7 pm tonight
and the storms were picking up in intensity around my home. I was upstairs in my room
when a huge flash appeared outside my window with an almost instant BOOM, while my
mind was registering this a 12x14" wooden plaque fell from the wall behind me, yeah it shook
the house that hard. While my mind was registering this and I turn to see what fell, I hear a
LOUD sizzling sound outside, I turn back to look out the window and there is a tree glowing gold,
orange and red with sparks that are a brilliant silver arching off the conflagration like a welders rod.
This is happening about 10' off the ground and no more than 100' feet from where I am standing with
a wide open mouth and the wide eyes of astonishment. This took maybe 2 seconds, then the lights
dimmed, flickered and were gone. After a few moments I faded back into real time and realized
my wife was screaming. "JACKIE DID THAT HIT THE HOUSE!? JACKIE I THINK THAT HIT THE HOUSE,
DID THAT HIT THE HOUSE!?!?!?
I was never so proud to say "No! No it didn't, it didn't hit the house honey! No it didn't but it was damn close!"
I am a blessed man.
