Seems to have stopped for now - temps are falling rapidly (from the 70's to the 50's F) and skies are murky gray.

I was actually in western North Carolina last night during the storms...
There was a LOT of brilliant lightning. We were on the 15th floor of a hotel, and the power went out for about 3 hours. The hallways were lit with emergency lighting, but the rooms (and the homes around the hotel) were black. Very eerie, looking out over the dark mountains periodically lit by the lightning flashes. Driving home today I saw that some areas were still without power. It's beautiful here now, although a bit chilly and breezy.
