WTH Happened Last Night?

[ceebeegee]

Last night I was jerked awake because I heard an incredibly loud bang--in my fuzzy state it sounded like a bomb had gone off nearby. The window was open and it was raining but a peaceful rain; it didn't sound like there was thunder. Thinking of 9/11, I stumbled downstairs and turned on the TV going back and forth between NY1 (hey Duncan! Now you get to watch NY1! Motto: "New York Really IS the Center of the Universe") and CNN. Gradually, as no "Breaking News Alert" appeared on either station, my adrenalized state faded, and I went back to sleep. It must've been thunder--holy crap, though, it was LOUD.

I slept right through it, and was surprised to see the pavement was wet in the morning. I'm sorry I missed it -- I love a good thunderstorm, especially at night. And with my skylights, I'm sure it would've been spectacular.
