There were storm clouds going past, and a whole section of the sky was lit up in red-pink, glowing vividly, and to make it even more unusual, a few flickers of lightning flashed in the sky while I watched. But all of this was in the <em>northeast<\/em>. It wasn&#8217;t anywhere near where sunset ought to have been!

I couldn&#8217;t see much because of all the flashing lights, and I was concentrating on passing by safely and going on my way. The location was some low building housing a business, I&#8217;m not sure what. As I went by I glanced toward all the fuss, and saw a car <em>upside-down<\/em>, on its roof!!
