On Saturday night, March 15th, a storm system moved through the area. It knocked out a transmission station in local county, putting most of Savannah in the dark and casting lightning throughout the sky. Me and Lisa watched from the darkness porch and resisted the urge to go driving around. That was smart as numerous accidents occurred and the city was put in mild state of chaos. It's rare that the entire city loses power, usually it's just a section or two.

I've always loved being in the midst of storms (I stuck around Savannah when Hurricane Floyd came through in 1999), there's something gloriously alive about it, but ya gotta play it safe too. There were tornado warnings for surrounding counties, so we made sure we had emergency supply ducks in a row and just hung out on the porch watching the world go by. I too a few photos, which can be found over on Flickr, while cell phone video is below.
