Steve:

You probably know that the news weather media has been touting a nasty weather system that could dump up to 18 inches of snow in Steamboat with winds up to 65 mph.

I have traveled all over the Pacific, ridden out typhoons and hurricanes on the ocean and on land, and never have I seen anything like this. The mountains over Green Ridge and the Flattops south of Steamboat Springs were clouding up but that was all. Then about 9pm a brilliant white light burned through the clouds and we heard thunder that shook the house and sounded more like explosions than thunder. This went on for the next 10 minutes and each brilliant flash was followed up by multiple explosions that shook our house and those around us. Then as quickly as it started it was over. There was what I call dead quiet. Was this a harp attack or something else? M.
