He thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts

My neighborhood was pretty much untouched, we were without power for about 14 hours, but it just came back on.
I was at work at the time. Lightning struck the mall parking lot about ten feet from our door. David was outside watching the storm and jumped inside like he as getting shot at. I wonder if there's a scorch mark now?
I'll post a more detailed description when I get home, but I'm about to go cash my check and get my car fixed.

I'm a little worried about Blake, though.
I don't know if he was home from school or if he's living in Boone, but his neighborhood (the street behind mine pretty much) was hit the hardest. At least forty houses have some kind of damage. One of them was entirely demolished. At least I know he wasn't hurt, because there were only a few minor injuries... even the lady in the house that was entirely destroyed got out with only some scratches. Her children (two and three) were fine.
I called his cell phone, but he didn't answer, so I left a message.
