You hear St Elmo's fire in the treetops, and yes, not many people get to hear that! Very close to getting hit, though when you hear that it is as random as the lotto where exactly in your area will make the bolt.
So sad about these tornadoes and storms! All we got is a ton of constant wind in the 40-50mph range and a little rain. Sometimes it is nice to suffer long winters to stay well out of range of tornado alley.
