u know when i satayed in pheonix arizona i experienced the same thing. but imagine it going on for literally 8 hours. im talking all night long. the strobes were going and thunder was cracking. we had pictures in the house my boss was renting us all but 1 fell off the wall. there was one time when i was on the phone with my wife and she heard kaboom and said what the hell was that and i told her it was thunder and she said she jumped it was so loud. yeah weather like that is never fun. well be easy and know that mother nature is doing here thing. besides earthquakes are worse. till u experince one of those u dont know what scary is. i think ringo knows what i am talking about. the 89 quake was insane.
