Lighting Strikes...

IMG_8600 Edited Blog

So Friday night we were eating dinner(take out of course, Ray's pizza and wings) and starting our nice long three day Labor Day weekend. There had been a storm going on, they had been happening all week long. All of a sudden there was an extremly loud boom and the doggie door lit up! The power did not flicker and the tv did not go off so no one thought much of it and we have learned over the past few days that M is really afriad of the lighting and thunder, so we just avoided talking about it. While cleaning up after dinner (paper plates in the garbage) I had commented that it was getting warm in the house. Mike checked the thermostat and it was blank, no numbers!! Esie and I went up stairs and noticed that the second floor air was not working either, but the bonus room was. While we were up stairs I noticed that the kids rooms fans and lights were not working. Well it appears that we were hit by lighting or at least our ground was hit by lighting and it messed with our house! Mike contacted everyone he knew and we could not figure out why only the kids rooms were did not have power. Chris talked Mike though fixing the downstairs air conditioner, but had not luck with the upstairs. So Esie, N, M, C, and I slept in the bonus room, one big not so happy slumber party. So Saturday was spent trying to fix the power and air conditioners. By 4pm Saturday, everything was back to normal thanks to friends, family and Mike's hardwork.
