I don't recall experiencing that before
There's a thunderstorm winding down, but it's going out with a bang. The lightning flashed, the thunder boomed, and the electricity went it -- all simultaneously. I just hope it wasn't my house taking the direct hit. Getting a power line probably means fewer fried devices (if more houses). But my UPS isn't beeping, which doesn't bode well.
In the meantime, my body can stop with the adrenaline thing right now. Stupid body.
ETA: The Excel Energy truck stopped in front of my driveway a few minutes ago, and I got an update from the guys as they were returning to their truck. Apparently the lightning strike took out a high-voltage line behind my house. The whole neighborhood is out. The good news is that they should have it fixed in a couple of hours. Much better than a couple of days.

I jumped out of my skin and shrieked out loud. It felt like it was striking something RIGHT behind me.
