A couple of days ago we had a thunderstorm roll through around 4:30 in the morning. I was in my bed and Shaun was in the den (at the opposite end of the house). I wasn't quite asleep; I remember being aware of the storm. Then suddenly I was wide awake with my heart trying to escape my chest because there was a lightning strike so close and so loud. I've never experienced anything like that before.
I texted Shaun to see if he was ok and he said he was fine and heard it coming. WHAT?! After some yard work yesterday evening he told me that the tree outside of my bedroom window had been hit. I went outside to look a few minutes ago and there are scorch marks on it. That's so sad, but that definitely explains why it sounded close. That tree is about 20 feet away from my room.
