A downright scary thunder and lightning storm is passing over Gillette Stadium as we speak.

In a scene eerily reminiscent of War of Worlds, barrels are strewn throughout the parking lot, portable toilets are knocked over, all of the goal posts on the practice field are now slanting to the left and one tent next to the field is completely demolished.

One bolt of lightning momentarily knocked out power, causing the scoreboard to light up like a Christmas tree when power was restored.

The rain was coming down so hard at one point, we couldn't see the football field which is right outside the press window.

We can hear all kinds of sirens, and there appear to be some lightning-strike fires off in the distance.

We're fully expecting to see Belichick bring the players back out on the field for more practice - you know, just in case such a storm ever breaks out on game day.
