we had a pretty good storm here saturday night and we are still finding things that don't work.
lightning hit a tree in our pasture, the tree was already dead but now it's split apart. we were in the garage and saw that it blew apart the electric fence charger so eventually that will have to be replaced.
it fried my microwave and i'm hoping to get a new one by the end of the week.
it knocked out the a/c in the bedroom and the stove. dh reset the a/c and that's working again and he tripped the breaker and the stove is working.
then last night josh wanted to watch tv in the bedroom and lo and behold it fried the dvr receiver in there. so, had to call directv and they are sending a new one.
tried to get on the internet last night and nothing. tried again the morning and it still didn't work. picked up the phone to call and nothing there either. i called and they finally sent someone this afternoon and i am now back online plus we can use the phone again.
i just hope we don't find anything else wrong. not a good way to start the week.
hope ya'll are doin well.
hugs,

Oh my you did get zapped didn't you. Glad you are getting some of it back to working. Good to have a handy dh too.
yes, we are fine. there was quite a bit of damage done around here. people without lights, phone, even satellites were hit.
we got off relatively easy.
What a storm that one was Ellen! We had tornadoes between Jacquie and me that did a lot of serious damage...houses down etc. I had a lightning strike at my old house a few years ago and lost 2 TVs, my computer, telephone and answering machine. Thank heaven my insurance picked up all of it! It scared the life out of me it was so loud! Glad you are all ok.
Oh Ellen I'm sorry you all have had such problems/ The weather here is iffy. Allie has a dentist appointment this afternoon hope the weather holds out until we get back home.
Take care
Hugs

We had a similar experience many years ago.
Our homeowners insurance paid nicely.
Have you checked into that?
Glad you and the family are ok.
Darn storms are a force to be reckoned with.
((HUGS))
Yikes!
Oh my goodness, that was a bad storm.
Ellen I hope you've found all your 'fried' goods.
