Lightning just struck a house about three doors down.

 

All our appliances went off, and then starting going beserk, including our fire alarms and several battery-related items (ex. one of my brother's old Hot Wheel playsets went bonkers). Computers were all fine, but a surge got through mine, through my headphones and zapped me in the ear. Ow.

 

There was some property damage done to the roof of the house, and there were lots of fire trucks. Other than my ear, no one was hurt, yay.

 

Makes me very glad I got put in the house I am in - I feel very lucky indeed. :]

Hah I used to get shocked by my headphones because of the static of my old bed sheets.

 

Even battery related appliances went whack? Sounds crazyawesomefun

I do believe that same storm rolled through here in south Jersey last night. I was asleep for like ten minutes when this massive thunder woke me up.

 

Uncool.

Once, lightning struck a pecan tree in my grandparents' backyard. They said it was really loud. Figures. Plus the fact that we would pick the pecans off of the ground and make pecan pie. We can't do that anymore though. :( Now half the bark is gone, too. It looks weird. But I'm glad that no one got hurt.
