Bluekat,

I love thunderstorms. We had a real bad one last night. I happened to be on my computer at the time and immediately shut it down and just sat on my couch and watched it out my window (the storm, that is). Afterwards there was the most beautiful rainbow I've ever seen!!! I believe it was my RB furbabies saying "Hi Mom, we're okay!!" I made a wish on it and tried to take a picture but it didn't come out.

I live alone too, so I know how scary something like that can be. The only time I'd worry is if I were outside when it was happening. Rule of thumb if this ever happens, drop to the ground and stay there. Lightening strikes the tallest object.
