I'm just back from our local radio club meeting.  Has heard from K5YY this
evening?  KK5II, K5DB, and K5XH had just picked-up San from his Springdale
QTH as they shared a ride to the meeting.  Within a few blocks of San's QTH,
the guys reported a huge, deafening explosion.  Almost immediately, San's
XYL Melinda lit up his cell phone, reporting their electrical power was out
and that she thought their house may have been struck by lightning.  The
guys immediately dropped San off to assess and handle the situation.

So we're all anxious to hear the latest.  Hopefully it was a neighborhood
utility pole and not a direct strike to his tower or 40M vertical, etc.

Oddly, the guys reported while there appeared to be thundershowers building
off to the east, the sky was totally clear over Springdale at the time of
the incident!
