We had 5 inches of rain yesterday in two hours. Terrible thunder and lightning. One blast hit a tree 30 feet behind the house. I was looking out that window ( from the centre of the room) when the blast hit and I was knocked off my feet. The phone line, tv, satelite dish, internet dish, phones, vcr, dvd, computer screen, modem and fencer are toast. I had turned off several breakers but forgot a couple obviously. Another of the great joys of rural life- feeling the power of nsture. I’m glad it wasn’t worse. Funnily enough, I had put up sheep netting next to that tree a few minutes earlier, with the thunder rumbling ever closer, saying to myself:”what are the chances… just keep working!”
