Last night we had a big thunderstorm roll over us. Lightning flashed right over our apartment twice, causing the house to shake and car alarms to go off. The second thunder boom even moved things on the shelves and caused a power surge. Today, we were heading to my mom’s house so she could watch Magnus while we went to the temple and we passed this. About two blocks down the road in a park was a pair of massive Douglas firs that were struck by the lightning. This one looks as if it had exploded. There was burn scars from the lighting and some debris was almost 100 yards away. It was amazing and lots of people were there, many taking pieces of the tree home with them.
Also, we stopped for dinner at Jack in the Box on our way home and I got a bacon milkshake (a secret menu item). It was not that bad.
