We had a severe thunder storm come through Methuen about 5:15 PM today. The camera was not where it is supposed to be, so I missed the start with the winds taking the trees down to the ground. The thunder went on for well over an hour, started about 10 minutes before the rain did, and it is still rumbling now, more than 2 hours later. Notice the gate is open. (I've since been out and closed it, so the pups are safe.)

Willy normally sits on the recliner between me and the arm of the chair. It's not that the thunder bothers him, that is where he is almost all the time.
Tasha was hyperventilating and clambered up to settle on top of Willy.
We had one bright lightening flash with an immediate BOOM, and Riley was in my lap before that finished. She soon got down again, it was just that really close one that got to her. Even with the a/c on, I was sweating with the 3 of them piled on me! Willy eventually got down as well, he was too hot below Tasha.
Tasha has calmed down, breathing normally, but on high alert and raises her head to glare out the window at every rumble.
Here are post storm photos.
What caught my attention was the 'glow' coming from the window, so I looked out and saw this:
The sky soon turned a more normal color. I just kept taking pics.
Slowly getting back to normal around here, lol.
