I remember while Jen was visiting one night there was a terrible lightening and thunder storm. The storm awakened me from a deep sleep and one thunderclap was particularly loud and shook the house. I remember thinking, “My goodness,that was close.” Little did I know how close! A tree in my neighbor’s yard was struck and its branch flipped over and hit the side of our house, missing power lines, our fence, and our windows….just leaving a black streak down the side of our house. I walked around the house for days straightening pictures on the wall that had been shaken askance. But it wasn’t until I sat down at our computers that I realized the real damage. First I noticed my keyboard on my big Mac was no longer working…nor the mouse. I also found numerous programs no longer working and data had been affected–missing, since hard drives were no longer working. It has taken weeks to try and get the computers running normal again.The lightening strike a little too close for comfort!!
