Thunder and lightning picking up from the next round. Watching the images come over the media outlets..it's all so surreal. My thoughts and prayers go out to all affected.

Thinking they may pulse a bit... We haven't had any rain to stabilize the atmosphere since this AM here in GA... Good chance they'll pulse back up soon.
