    Ooh. I opened my blind and curtains there to see if i could see any lightening, and there was a young fella in the house at the back of us with his curtains open but his light on, getting changed.
    I saw flashes of a different kind! :D

    And i saw the blue thunder. Them few minutes worked out well for me!
