Lightning Strikes

As I have talked to some of you in the past the type of rain storms that happen down here are nothing like back home.  When it rains…..IT RAINS.  It is the kind of rain that we might see once or twice up north each season.  There is no such thing as an all day soaking kind of rain. 

Well along with the rain the lightning seems to also be a little more intense.  Last night a storm rolled through around 10PM and came with some loud BOOMS!!! I was watching the news this morning and 4 homes in my county were struck by lightning from this storm.   WOW that is a lot for a 30 minute storm.  A week ago another nasty storm rolled through and that was one of the first times I was nervous about a storm when I was indoors.

 I am surronded by a lot of trees and I have this fear of living in an apartment of something happening to another unit that spreads to mine.  There had to be as many as 12-14 crashes that I swear hit with 100 yards of my place.  Each time dozens of car alarms sounded.  But just as fast as they come into town, they leave. 

This might help decided on buying a ranch instead of a colonial!!!!!!  Stay closer to the ground.
