Thanks for answering my question. I was also wondering what St. Elmo's fire was? Although pretty dangerous, it would be pretty neat to actually see. I am glad to hear that all have made it through. Thanks to you all for your information, expertise, and patience with us who are not quite there as meterologists yet. Although I am a scientist, it is quite difficult to understand some of the terms and abbreviations without asking a stupid question... Thanks.
One last thing, a special thanks to skeetobite for his maps, they are great. I sent them to my mom, who is not to internet savvy, and they helped her greatly..
Thanks..
