Was that thunder or an airplane crashing?

Just before midnight Jeramy and I were both awakened by some incredibly loud, booming, crashing thunder. It was so loud that it either hit within a quarter mile of my house or my sleepy ears distorted the sound. Now thunderstorms are very rare in Seattle, so this sound caught us and our dog completely off guard. Due to our proximity to the airport (e.g. airplanes land and take-off over our house), I'm always thinking there has been a plane crash when I'm awakened in this manner. Cujo goes ballistic with frantic barking forcing us to lock him inside before he completely annoys our neighbors, since he probably already has them on edge with the frog issues.

Wow. Did you ever find out what it was?

Just stopping by to give you a little ~hug~ myself. I'm so sorry you are still in your holding pattern (no pun intended). I hope your body either comes in for a landing or at least crashes down, so something happens (okay, the pun got away from me!)

You have been amazing lately Jen. Just wanted to let you know that.

Awww...thanks sweetie! And I did find out it was just thunder, but it is so rare around here that it really startled me!
