Monday evening sometime before 8 p.m., my phone alerted me that we had some heavy weather moving through, a thunderstorm warning, actually. Within minutes, wind driven rain was pinging off the windows and flashes of lightning could be seen for miles.

Then, it was over. Well, the rain part was. At least our vehicles got a nice car wash! Winds seem to hang around into the overnight leaving some parts of Berkshire County without power and debris a plenty.
