On Easter Monday a small squall suddenly popped up near us. A hard rain, some pea-sized hail, and then a loud wall-rattling bang-bang. The power stayed on (which out here is unheard of!) but there was a smell of ozone and then the TVs and dish came on by themselves and then went dead. We checked the attic and didn't see a fire so didn't realize until today that the lightning had entered the house from under the overhang on the far side of the house where my studio is. The DirecTV guy was amazed at how the cables and gold-connectors had melted. We were blessed that the rain put the fire out before it did any more damage. We lost the TVs and receivers but the kiln and computer are fine. So are the horses and other critters. God was good to us.
