Almost electrocuted

Did I tell you guys that Clifford and Alex were almost electrocuted recently? It was a couple of weeks ago. There was a really bad storm going on outside but Clifford had to go out to do his business. So the rain had let up and Alex took him out. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, a bolt of lightning came down and struck something very close to us. For any of you out there that knows what it sounds like, you will sympathize. It sounds like a bomb going off in your house and it shakes the ground. All I know is that I looked over and saw Alex and the dog with the brightest light I had ever seen surrounding them. The two of them ran inside shaking. Now, whenever there is loud thunder.....Clifford comes running for cover!
