Big storm

Much to my disappointment, I missed the big storm that blew through at suppertime on July 3. I was working out in the windowless upstairs aerobics room at the Kennett Y, and the first indication we had that something was going on was when the lights went out just as class was over (the generator kicked in almost immediately). The traffic lights and the shops in town were dark and I saw several trees down on my trip home. Power wasn't restored for many people until mid-day Friday.
A friend later told me that he was at the Kennett Giant in New Garden and saw the storm approaching; he said it formed a dramatic black "wall cloud" stretching from horizon to horizon.
