okay so yesterday Mom and I went to a laundromat to do our clothes.

And just as we had pulled out our stuff from the dryers and had started to fold them, a rainstorm opened up seemingly right over our head. The water poured down until there was ankle deep water outside the door of the place, and then a lightning bolt must have hit a nearby transformer as the place went dark and all the machines stopped working.

There really wasn't much we could do until things calmed down a bit, but even still I felt like we got off lucky. had the strike happened 5 minutes earlier, we might not have been able to get our clothes out of the dryers.

just one of those things, I guess.
