A close call

This morning was too close of an encounter with lightning. 

My husband and I were driving to work when a bright flash came down directly in front of the car's hood.

Incredibly close to the car - so close in fact that we thought the car got struck.

It was all I could do to scream out of reflex. The lightning was so bright that I couldn't see where the end actually came down and hit.

It was such a bright flash of lightning that afterward my husband said all he saw was a large orange globe shape and had trouble seeing momentarily.

Meanwhile I was blinded briefly followed by seeing black lightning imprints throughout the sky every time I would blink for almost an hour. And my right arm tingled slightly while my fingers felt almost numb, I kept moving my fingers and squeezing my arm on and off to make sure everything was okay.

It was very strange.

After it hit and we drove through it and the thunder was so loud it might as well have been on the other side of the car door or even inside the car itself. 

I have never experienced anything like that.

We didn't have any car trouble so in my head we didn't get struck - we got to work fine and there was no peeling paint or disturbed tire shape so I think we got very lucky.

Although my husband still believes we may have. 

I guess we won't really know for sure!

Stay safe out there && as always, I appreciate ya!

Thank you so much for those who continue to download Unforeseen - we had climbed up into the 400's recently (which is still an honor considering we started from millions) and now again we dropped back down into the 200's - I thank you so much for that! It means a lot! And I hope you are enjoying it!!
