    A weird thing happened to me yesterday afternoon.

    That strong line of thunderstorms that rolled in around 4:30PM seemingly rolled right over my house. I live in the Westbury area.

    There were three lightning strikes that were very close and shook my house.

    During one of them I heard a shattering noise and had a power surge...I took a quick look around but didn't see anything broken.

    This morning I discovered one of the panes in the bay window in my den had broken.

    Waiting for the glassman to show up...a hunnert bux to fix it....housebound until then.... :(

    At least it isn't raining... :)

    If you live around Westbury it was probably just gunfire. :D

    I was thinking that but too polite to post it.

    When I was a kid I used to go to Roy's House of Comics in Westbury Square. I liked the hill and the little shops in that center. Too bad the community went to dust.

    anyone ever get the crap where you're sleeping at like 2 AM, no rain, no nothing, then a lightning bolt fires down like 3 feet outside your bedroom? It's like God is trying to scare the hell out of me!

    To this day, I cannot understand why someone like Ed Wulfe hasn't given what's left of Westbury Square a complete and total makeover. It could be great again.
