    Just came around the bend and it was on the ground but branches were still waving about and sparks were firing from the downed power line. To get around I had to adventure down a nearby dirt/gravel road. I sat there and watched it for a little while.
    Not something you see each day....figured I needed a picture. :)

    Glad to hear you and your car are ok.

    Glad you don't have a 488 Spider because you might have been under the tree.
