My biggest nightmare happened at 7:30am

and it was not so bad.

Right about the time dh and I got married a friend had lightning strike their house. Since then, I always counted the number of seconds between lighting and thunder. You know to see if the lightning was close.

We had loud rolling thunder last night. Not much lightning. J missed swim lessons. It rained a bunch, and then it was over.

I guess it rained some more over night. It was still lightning and thundering this morning. Then at 7:30 we were all alsleep. A big bang and a flash of lightning. All of the electronics blinked really bright. And the fire alarms went off. It all happened in a second. We went around and checked everything. I think we lost a phone. It has 3 phones that connect to it, so they are dead also. None of the phones worked at first, and neither did the internet, but we called the cable company and now they do. The upstairs hallway lights, bathroom everything, and Joshuas everything do not work. The hallway plug in works. It has a surge protector on it. The garage door does not work. It has 2 things on both side that create a beam going across. The garage door reacts when you push the button, but one of the sensors does not have a light on. So we think it was fried. The freezer works, but the panel on the outside of it does not. That is how you control the temp on it. So we have an electrician coming out today and a refrigerator guy on Monday.
