bitchin' stormy afternoon

stopped by market basket to pick up some frozen lunches and just before i got there, the heavens opened up and visibility went from clear and visible to i could barely see in front of me with my wipers on high. a few minutes later, i pulled into the partially flooded parking lot at market basket and spent the next 20 or so mins sitting in my car enjoying the passing thunderstorm. just missed by about 2 seconds a picture of a nice lightning bolt. and a few minutes after parking, i heard a pop which turned out to be the building losing partial power. when the rain stopped enough, i headed in and while waiting in line with my frozen lunches, the building lost all power except for the generator powering the registers and the emergency lights.

the first picture was shot facing south, the second is a picture of the building sign on the fritz, and my first ever youtube vid (it's not very exciting) of the sign behaving all glitchy. (it was off when i left the store.)
