Big Storm

So we had a HUGE thunder storm tonight. The storm started just as Sarah and I left for the movies at 635 or so. About 15 minutes into the movie (which started at 705, the Simpsons movie) the power went out. Completely pitch black. The emergency lights turned on for a bit, then shut off. An user came in with a flashlight, asked everyone to leave the theater, then left us in the dark. Everyone just used the glow from their cell phones to find their way out. Needless to say, the first 15 of the movie were fantastic, but we didn't get to finish it. So we got our money back and left. Of course I did what any other Mainer would then do.. sit on the front porch, have a couple of beers and watch the lightning. Good times.
The storm just ended (its like 11:05 now) with downpours and tons of lightning. Easily the most lightning I've ever seen in a storm.
On a somewhat related note, Sea Dog IPA is really really good...
