Incredible Storm last night!

What a massive and impressive Thunder Storm last night!!! Started at 1am and lasted till 3:30 and Agressive enough to rattle our windows for a good hour right in the middle of that time. Sheet and impressive ground lighting, Thunder that would of made a drummer proud! Hits were coming so fast and so bright it hurt the eyes. No,, wasn't out in it... I remember NE Thunder storms all too well. Horses were running around like mad but stayed in their night pasture Thank goodness, as many of the strikes were hitting on our property and all too close to the house.
At 3 am I get a call from one of the neighbors up the road saying our horses were running on the Road. Don't care how panic-ed my animals get.. they can't get out of all the fencing and gates we have unless someone lets them out. So hubby does a flash light check from the house, as there is no way he is going out in that. Horse were there.. could see them but didn't need the flash light because of all the lightning making night into day. Hope who's ever horses were running loose are now home safe and sound.
That neighbor is a fire fighter and had to be out in that storm, as the lighting had cause numerious fires. Said a Prayer for him because it was a scary night to be out.
Animal chores are running a little late this morning.. having only had 4 hours of sleep ..2 hours before the storm and 2 hours after. Thought I left NH...and the kind of storms they get over there.
Will out I go to check on the animals and see if there is any damage.
