Wow! CG Lightning strike sure got close! Getting awfully noisy out there! Knocked my power out for a second. Heavy rain also. Decent storm. Not much wind at all.

Looks like we get a short break before the main action moves thru. I foresee more noise and heavy rains soon.

Moderate rain here with little wind.
