Last night we had an awesome lightning and thunderstorm. The TV channels are still out this morning and one of my colleagues lost a window out of his door due to the high winds. The sky was like a disco around 2230 yesterday with continuous flashes of light and the low rumbling of thunder. Smokey seemed to be okay other than trying to crawl on top of me in the bed and then proceeding to go hide under a small bedside table next to me. I managed to fall asleep around 2330 but woke up several times in the middle of the night to large booms of thunder.
