Lightning strikes three times

It was raining at 5....still raining at 6...but then stopped by 6:15 and we rushed outside to walk before the next wave of rain.

Padimus, sporting her tail bandage (We are not sure what is going on. A visit to the vet is in the offing.), Scrufimus and I hit the street before DH. We wanted to take the shortest walk necessary.

We found ourselves in a hard sprinkle. And the lightning started in the southeast. Then the thunder started and, when the third lightning bolt streaked across the sky (the first two were nothing), we booked it home as fast as our little feet could go.
