Graham was standing in her kitchen, a stone’s throw from where the tree toppled into and took down power lines in her front yard.
“First, a flash of white light, then a series of blue lights after,” said Graham.
“Whoa! I’m thinking thank God I drove as fast as I did,” Stacie Gerrity told Channel 3 News, still “a little freaked out” after what she and son Kyle, had just seen.
