Excitement!!!

Lightening hit a tree right here in our yard.
The tree is scarred from top to bottom.

The kids were playing in the yard at the time . . .
Yikes!
Conor describes fire, orange and blue.
Andrew was in the house, upstairs where windows were available. He said everything flashed blue.
Michael was downstairs in the basement. He said it was very, very loud - shook the windows & knocked things off shelves.
And I (sigh) was on my way home from work & missed the whole thing.
