Andy, glad to hear it wasn't more than a scare... It could have been a lot worse.
Now, what I find really interesting is that with all the info available, people are still charging in their planes. Check this thread from a few days ago

As I mention in my post towards the end: it is not even about being there. Once it starts it can be pretty incontrollable. It is about having a plan, charging on something like concrete like Andy's for example.
