The pond is more full now. And we only lost power for a moment. Win.

Raining cats and dogs here.
I was out at the dog pen feeding my wife's toothless biscuit eater, when we had a lightning strike in the pine thicket next to the pen. I was looking that way, so it was bright, but not blinding (I've been within 50 feet, that's impressive...You can't see for a half-minute or so and my ears rang for hours). Since I didn't quite get out one-mississippi, I'm thinking about a thousand feet away.
It did get my attention.

But overall, if we don't float away, things are good. Got wood for the heater, gas for the generator and life will be comfortable...

I intentionally didn't go outside during the worst of it, even though I wanted to. Somehow it smelled like lightning.

I had that experience, and it was also in Louisiana. Right after I got out of the car in Morgan City lightning touched down in the front yard. It makes a lasting impression.

Driving home from work, stopped at a red light. Lightning strike on the telephone pole kitty-corner from me.
Shortly after we moved into the condo, lighting struck the building across the street. Started a small-ish house fire.
Yeah, impressive.

It's not over until all the houses have fallen back to the ground.
