11. Scary!

Wow!! Such fun!!

Was at a concert/fireworks event to kick off the Peabody 100 Celebration. We did get through most of the "acapella" singers, and were waiting for the Navy Band, when, suddenly, the fireworks show started unexpectedly!!

----Oh, wait!!!---- That was thunder and lightning with very strong winds and a probable micro-burst. More than a little scary!

Several small trees in the area were damaged/down.

Got home safely, and am looking forward to maybe seeing the fireworks tonight instead. Likely no Navy Band, though!
