Hy everyone... we finally got that big storm that we were wanting

This pick is of a lightning strike ten feet in front of our house



unfortunetly it struck the septic tank



the front yard smells like crap!!!!!!



The pond in the back also flooded over its walls and filled our back yard with three feet of water... our garden was totally under water hopefully it is ok



you can see along the fence how high the water got from the algae stuck to it

So much for a fun fathers day weekend... I got to get this stuff cleaned up

Wow, I've never seen a strike like that. I'm glad you weren't mowing !!!! I'm sorry you have to work on your special day but that's what being a Dad is all about....just like Moms you gotta give up your fun for the good of the family. Some of your garden will die, when it dries try to rake some of the muck off and you know to make sure all roots are underground. Can we expect pics of you working with your shirt off??????

yeah probably because it is 84 here already and really humid lol

Holy Crap.... That is really cool to see but it total sucks and I am sorry. I know this is the last thing you wanted to do on Fathers Day weekend but at least no one was hurt. I bet that was really loud when it hit.

yeah the two little ones and I were on the couch just inside the picture window 15 ft away when it hit... SCARED the CRAP out of us... the girls both started screaming

I bet. I would have too... That is scary.

yeah it was after the girls went to bed the wife and I sat in the back living room and watched the storm over the field and we got to see lightning strike our pond (that was really cool) and lightning strike a tree back in the woods catching it on fire... crazy but really cool night. I love thunder storms

That would have been cool to see.. I love thunderstorms too. The more electricity in them the better!

As long as nobody gets hurt!

i love to watch lightning and hear thunder too.
i used to have plenty of them whenever i am with
my mother's house in the country side.....

in city life, you could hardly them due to over crowded
environment....
