I know I'm a few days behind, but I just had to catch this:

We apparently lost power at work Saturday. I'm not sure, and no one 
around me could verify it at the time, either. Why? I was out at opening 
day of the PA Ren Faire. Half of Lancaster County coulda lost power, and 
we wouldn't have even noticed. We STILL would have partied like it was 
1562. And we did!

The lighning strikes were insane, though. I don't think I've ever been 
quite that close-- they seared my eyes with bright, looking-at-the-sun 
flashes of whiter-than-white almost-colour, and made even the most 
stalwart of Rogues and Mercenaries start. And all of us outside in a 
tent, no less. WOOTY WOOT!

Sadly, down the lane a bit, outside O'Malley's pub, behind the Abbey 
Scriptorium, lightning leaped from one of the clothing merchant's booths 
to a tree and exploded the bark from it in a perfect spiral, down into 
the earth, apparently searing the roots. As soon as we closed, the tree 
was cut down. I have a fragment of its bark, but alas, I didn't get to go 
see it.

Hope everyone else is all right, of course.
