Stormy Weather

We had a little too stormy weather last night. We woke to a very loud crack of lightning sometime between 1 and 2 a.m.. After unplugging a few things and going back to bed I thought I kept hearing trucks. Eventually I looked around and there were all kind of lights (including red and blue) to the south. I went out and it was the fire dept at the house Nielsen's used to live in (now Dixon's) at the bottom of the hill. Marcus Colgrove, who lives behind us had seen a flash and thought the lightning had hit their propane line. He went over there immediately to make sure they were up etc and apparently there was fire at the stove (quite the responsible neighbor!!). Mr Dixon was out of town so it was just his wife there. Ended up with damage to the kitchen and living area.
That was pretty close to home!!!
