Lightning consumed the skies in every direction
Had a very disturbing dream this morning. I woke horrified. It began with an emergency weather service report on the television, but local news in my area couldn't report on it. Over the entire tri-state area in the northeast they were unable to broadcast to the people due to an 800-mile long storm of almost one hundred tornadoes.

People were panicking -- there was utter chaos and sheer madness.
Everyone was fleeing to -- where? I don't know!

Power was out in New York City and most of Connecticut. I went outside to look at the sky, and in the distant horizon towards the southeast I could see no less than 45 tornadoes forming. The sky where I live here in New Jersey was not yet dark. It was not even raining yet, but there was an electrical storm and a noise very similar to the sound in The War Of the Worlds movie. The weatherman kept saying that there were no signs or any warning of an oncoming storm of this size, that it just materialized out of nowhere!
I was home alone with my daughter when I phoned my husband at his job, ten miles away, to let him know. When I told him he sort of listened in disbelief saying he'd heard no reports of such an event on the radio, and that the sun was still out. But he said he would still head home.
I frantically waited as the sounds got louder and the sky got darker. Lightning consumed the skies in every direction. Bolts of lightning hit several power sources and power was going off all over. No TV. No radio. No lights.
Now in the distant horizon came a different kind of light. I could see many of them, much brighter than the lightning. These were more like the lights on helicopters, but they beamed out for miles up and down. I could smell fires burning and everything in my body said LEAVE NOW, get your daughter and the cats in the van.
That's what I did. I drove fast toward my husband's work, so I wouldn't miss him. Cell phones didn't work. I was surprised the car even started, because I saw several cars suddenly stalling out in front of me.
People were panicking -- there was utter chaos and sheer madness. Everyone was fleeing to -- where? I don't know! I managed to get about seven miles away to the road where I would see my husband, and there he was on the other side, driving with no lights on. I flashed my headlights to him and he stopped. I made some quick gestures for him to hurry, and he got in and said, ''We've got to get up to mountains."
He had a gas can, full, and some food and water, and he saw I had our cats in their carriers, and said ''Good, you didn't leave them.'' The radio came on loud and brief, in intervals. They said that people had been killed by what seemed to be a light coming out of the sky -- and then the radio went off again.
We were scared out of our minds, but determined to get away. I was thinking we were going to be safe, but suddenly I heard a buzzing sound like right before a transformer gets hit and -- that's when I woke up.
Needless to say I was really shaken by this dream. I had the feeling it really happened, and I had to get out of bed to try and shake it off. I told my husband about it, and he said he hadn't had a bad dream, but a very unsettled sleep, and he felt as if something bad was going to happen...

Please don't send attachments or other cr*p we don't want.
If you're trying to reach us but getting no reply, it's probably because you've sent us cr*p we don't want, so we're filtering your emails into the trash, unopened and unread.
