Vickie, not sure if it was the same storm system but we were in
Memphis over the 4th of July weekend and they had horrible storms thre
-- the weather channel called it a "derecho", which when I looked it
up, is used to described straight line winds. This storm hit Memphis
on Sunday - on Monday we were driving back to NC and saw this horrible
black sky just east of Nashville. We drove through some of the worst
rain and lightening I have ever seen - all day long. The trip that
should have taken 9 hours took 13 to get us home.

Glad to hear you are okay. I hate storms.
