At about 4 am North Raleigh was hit by a rather violent thunderstorm with almost constant CC and CG lightning add to that some extremely loud thunderclaps which shook the house and we both wished that we had some industrial grade earplugs as even with our hands over the ears the noise was bordering on painful.

I picked up a few packs at the store and plan to add a couple of pairs to my Maxped Mini EDC. I hate to think what it would have been like if we were out in the car….ouch!. The rest live in the kitchen drawer ready for another “Boomer”.
