Goodyear Blimp Crashes

Last night, we had one of those crazy bad Florida thunderstorms--driving rain with raindrops the size of grapes and lots of lightning and thunder. We had three lightning strikes that shook the house.

In the midst of this, I heard a noise outside that sounded like a plane but it stayed overhead way too long for a plane. I looked out and saw the lights of the blimp passing overhead. The blimp passes over my house quite often because we are due west of its hanger. I called my husband in disbelief that it would be flying through that storm.

Found out this morning that the blimp crashed about 4 miles from my house. Here's a photo before it crashed--



and here's the after--



Thank God both pilots are OK.

Here's the story--
