We had some direct lightning strikes in our neighborhood, including one that blew my next door neighbors fence into splinters, and shook my house to it's foundation. We lost a tree and part of our roof, and there are downed trees and lines everywhere. There were a few fires and traffic accidents, and some criminal activity in the area.
Anyway, the power was out from 9pm until just a few minutes ago, and unfortunately the storms didn’t noticably cool anything down. It was 90 degrees and 100% relative humidity, with no juice, all night. I'm jsut hoping my AC can keep up during the day, starting from 85.
We're all right here, but I haven't slept, and I'm about ready to drop. I'll be back to the world in 4-6 hours.
UPDATE: So we took a little drive around the neighborhood to view the damage/progress, and snapped a couple from my phone
Part of my neighbors shed
The REST of my neighbors shed (about 1/4 mile away)
A near miss on the house down the street
This one didnt miss
A slightly different angle
Man, we really got off lucky, just losing some shingles and a tree.
