We were hit by a storm last night around midnight, too, though it never really reached a climax. (In my opinion, if it's going to storm it'd better give a [safe] show and storm. None of this distant thunder that never actually arrives business Virginia seems so fond of.) It's odd, because I was absolutely terrified of storms when I was younger (thanks to hurricanes) but now I like to see the power of it all. Reminds me about how powerful, sharp and--angry isn't the word, perhaps violent? I don't know--God is. Which, I think, is normally watered down a lot by all the compassion and loving side of Him. (But God is a God of war too, as Hittite Warrior said.)
Though again, I must caution you about lightning and being out of doors. My Aunt Janet forgot her first sixteen years of life because she got hit (and she's never been able to remember it).
