We'll it's happened for a third time in our little neighborhood. We were much luckier then the previous two recipients. Thursday evening, a very surprising storm blew in quick and powerful. In less than 30 minutes time, we went from sunsetting with some lovely looking heat lightning to full blown watch out weather. About 10 minutes into the strong winds and rain we experienced the low. Lightning hit close enough to take out our AC, dishwasher, cordless phone, modem, satellite system, 3 outlets, and battery operated thermo-clock sitting on the computer desk.
We were lucky, NO FIRE, and we know it but it's been a full 3 days dealing with the aftermath. We were able to get the AC fixed by end of business on Friday. Electrical system was checked by electric provider and contractor and gave us the good to go. Now were waiting for the dishwasher and satellite system to be repaired. The girls have been wonderful about not bugging me about not having TV to watch. Thank goodness for instant watching movies at Netflix!!
Too fill in the problem with more craziness... David's brother, Phillip and wife Jodi, arrived on Wednesday to stay until their flight to Germany for a station change with the Army. Not exactly what they were wanting to deal with but I had some WONDERFUL help! Three adults in the house to find all the problems and try to fix them. But that means extra bodies in the house with no AC and luckily we all kept our tempers in check.
So now we're back to our usual level of insanity, I can deal that's normal :) -S
