That was one heck of a storm
Did anyone else have the storm wake them up about 4am?

Lightening almost continuously. I ran and unplugged everything at risk and didn't have to turn on any lights.

About 4am the lightening never let up for about an hour, it was almost like daylight.

I watched the storm come in for a little while, then 97.1 said Laurel MS was under a severe T'storm warning, it wasn't even really here yet. Lightening struck within a hundred yards of the house around 5:30am.

Kinda got my attention...

Re: That was one heck of a storm
I'm not sure which woke me up first, the storm or my dogs howling at the storm. Both were quite a racket. I didn't think it would ever let up (the storm that is). We ended up having our puppy ChiChi in the bed with us. She was shaking like a leaf but settled down pretty quick. I'm really surprized we didn't lose power sometime during it.

Re: That was one heck of a storm
Damn, I slept thru the whole thing. I woke up at 6am to get ready for work.
I had to stop and ask self,"Do I really need to be here", and self says,"Only in the cover of darkness."

Re: That was one heck of a storm
Woke me up here in Livinston about 3:15 and kept me up with it's dazzling lightshow and booming thunder for right at 2 hours. Whew! Now I'm tired as all get out today. *yawn*
"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin--real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."

One time in 93, I watched lightening flicker in one set of clouds during a drive from Sweetwater to Demopolis, never let up at all.

It was nothing compared to last night. It was one group of clouds then, it was the entire sky last night.

Re: That was one heck of a storm
When the first really loud clap of thunder hit, I jumped clear out of bed. It was right next to my house and you could see the entire sky was just black as caol. I could never go back to sleep after that and it was about 4:02 when this happened.

Re: That was one heck of a storm
I slept right throught it too. I didn't wake up at all until around 9:30. Then I didn't know that we had had a storm until I looked outside and saw all the sand that had washed under my carport. I went to T'ville and saw how high the water was under the bridges on my way down and then I knew for sure that we had gotten a lot of rain last night.
