I live in SW Mississippi.The storm last night was as bad as Ive seen in a long time.About 430 this morning we awoke to the car alarm going off due to thunder close by.I got that shut off and about 10 minutes later lightning either hit my house or dang close.We heard a pop then the sound of frying bacon and the burning electrical smell.Two of my AC units are fried,5 tvs and direct tv boxes,my wifes work computer,our phones and a couple receptacles got burned out.When the electrician was in the attic looking for the source of the burning he found a wire blown in half.The scary part is that it was right next to a gas line and it scorched the gas line protective coating.Luckily nobody was hurt and all the "stuff" is fixable.Just thankful that my family is ok.

I know "CSB,TL/DR"

That's called being in good graces with God from good clean living. Either that or you are just lucky.

Good side of this, you might get to meet Wick pretty soon.

Wow!

I would consider that a very lucky break! You'll get to hug your wife and kids tonight no worse for the wear.

Glad you'll made out OK.

If you have insurance make sure you file a claim if your deductible isn't too high.
