on my way into work, i get to look across the Delaware river and see the Salem nuclear power plant which looks like it's only a mile or 2 away as the sober crow flies. seeing the storm references brought back this mornings heart stopper (to me anyway) i was at a red light looking straight ahead and directly in front of me is the cooling tower for Salem. i could see clouds all around, but it wasn't storming. all of a sudden the sky around the cooling tower lit up with a blue flash (no bolt of lightning mind you) and it looked like an electric blue halo all around the cooling tower. i was caught between panicking and figuring what the hell, i'd never see the 2nd flash when i realized it was lightning. i've seen lightning before, but just the way it flashed around that tower.....
Would rather never go through THAT again.
