My house/family was hit by lightning!!

DAMN, someone needs to really do something about these damn storms...... they are getting DAMNED intense and brutal!!

Last night, we were sitting here, bracing ourselves for yet ANOTHER storm. I live in Kentucky and as many of you know, this whole region has been being hammered by horrendous storms for a good while now.

THIS one was nasty!! I still have my house and all, but it was pretty scarey. We had been watching the lightning and wind and were about ready to shut everything down and ride it out when a bolt of lightning made a damn direct hit and took out half the shit in my home.

My oldest son came running out of his room, he is 17 and doesn't get too excited about much, but he had the funniest look on his face, was shaking both of his hands!! He was holding an X-box controller and both of his hands were zapped.

My youngest son came running around the corner, he was at their Computer shutting it down and he got it in his mouse hand.....

Then here comes my poor husband and he was holding his face, he had been hit thru his monitor somehow, right in the mouth.

All of them landed in almost the same spot at the same time, with weird looks on their faces, while me and my youngest daughter just stood there looking at these three crazy people not knowing what the hell was going on.

I lost my router, cable modem, cables, the outlet outside that my booster plugs into and my booster, my kids monitor is shot, and we thought the TV in my room was shot. A couple of phones and other oddball shit that I am sure I haven't found yet!!

Everyone is ok here and we were lucky, VERY lucky, it could have been worse. But DAMN, someone needs to be calling someone and have them tone down on the damn storms already, these damn things are getting pretty scarey!!
