I never thought i would ever see one that close to me it was passing right over my head and the moment i saw it and watched it pass my face it died with in my back yard. i was amazed at such an awesome thing. I had seen one the summer before the big one that made a boom near lacrosse WI and last year i saw another one and to get to see 2 of them in my back yard all in two years was amazing. lately Ive noticed more of them and am some what concerned. I have recently moved to Houston MN and we have seen 3 more in the last 3 months.
