My house was struck by lightning Thursday night... [View all]

I wasn't home but my husband was here with the dogs. Hit a large tree that sits right next to the house and jumped to the screen porch. Blew off the soffit and bent the frames of two screens. Split a few boards. Blackened the side.

Inside it knocked frames off the wall. We lost one tv, the modem and DVR. And the stupid phone which I hate and want to get rid of anyway.

Missed the rest of the Olympics and closing ceremony. I'm glad I was gone!

AT & T replaced the boxes and got us up and running again this morning.

Musta been some storm.

How did you all make out?
