Massive thunderstorms roll thru
A massive thunderstorm complex just rolled thru the Outer Banks. Extreme lightening and heavy rain in Manteo. Power out for a brief time. Gust front went thru first with high straight line winds. I heard sirens for a time, but don't know any details. At 7pm it has passed to the south of us now. A quick, mighty deluge with lots of lightening, and then it's gone.

We have a house in Kill Devil. My daughter was down for the week and was driving on the beach road ( I believe close to home-although I'll have to verify the exact location) and her Ford Explorer was HIT by lightning!! It knocked out the air bag, abs,speedometer, radio.etc. The car is running and the insurance adjuster comes tomorrow to determine if it is safe to drive. We think the strike went through the antennae and then through the speedometer cable and out to the ground. They say one of the safest places to be is in your car. Well, I guess that's true...always another adventure in KDH!!!
