I just had the scariest fucking time. Im sitting at home on the bed. The lights flicker. About a half hour later they flicker again... then POOF the whole house is out of power. Lightning strikes outside and thunder booms. Im so scared by this point... Lightning crashes one more time and then 3 seconds later "BOOM CRASH!" SOMETHING FUCKING EXPLODED RIGHT DOWN THE DAMN STREET. It happened about 3 more times before the exploding crashing stopped... It took everything in my power to get up off the bed and go upstairs for a candle. I took the cat with me and had a small pocket knife... After the whole candle escapade I got back to the room, locked the door and hid under the covers.. 10 minuets later there are some very mean very loud pounds on the front door. I almost had a heart attack.. The dog barked for about 5 minuets then went quiet.. I am so fucking scared....OH! power is back on..... hopefully it will stay on...
