Our house was struck by lightning last night! We were enjoying the women's finals in the Olympics when all of a sudden a huge clap of thunder and a bright blue light knocked out our power. It immediately came back on.

However, it managed to destroy a lightbulb and knock out our air conditioning. Fortunately, the thunder storm that did this damage gave us the peace offering of a cool front.

The good news is: Our house didn't flood. In fact, our basement is still very dry after such a heavy rain.

Other good news - our lovely plumber, James Dean (I kid you not), came over and installed our sink faucet, dishwasher and garbage disposal. Yay! He also gave us a can of acid to eat away at any roots that might be growing in our poop pipes.
