So pretty wild saw a lot of fallen branches and things like that. Big branches in some cases, big trees coming down. Something went through here just north of the river. A lot of stuff down. And I know other areas in Naperville, but something pretty heavy duty went right through here, like between Royce and like 87. I've heard that I know somebody was telling me up around Washington and 12th Street, which is right up near the Dairy Queen and where my friend's house was, you know what (name withheld)'s house was. I guess they had two homes hit by lightning up there this evening. Well, I haven't heard from my daughter (name withheld), but apparently her neighbors said that lightning struck between their condos like in a little parking lot there. took out a bunch of stuff in this neighbor's house. Hopefully (name withheld)'s isn't, nothing was damaged. I guess we'll see. I wonder if I got in a splash. My little electrical system monitor here never glitched, which is good. Well, we were down at the Opel store that it flashed, her big flash, saw, you know, flashes thunder. The lights blink twice in about 15.
