The Perfect Storm

I left work today at 4:45 PM en route to pickup the boys and get home hopefully by 6. Unfortunately, The Nothing rolled in as I was approaching Springfield and another typical DC-area thunderstorm was at its peak once I reached Alex's day care. I sprinted in and out and got totally soaked in the process. By the time I got Josh, the rain had died down but the vicious lightning kept coming.

As other people have blogged this afternoon, I have video proof of the power of the storm as I went to get Alex. I felt as if I got a free car wash.
