When Lightening Strikes



Have you ever had lightening strike your house or close to it? It is one scary feeling! Last Thursday evening we had a tornado watch, severe thunderstorm watch and flood watch. Well the rain storms came fast and furious which we have gotten used to since the humidity is so high right now. Then all of a sudden there were a blue flash and a boom that shook the house and was felt through my body. Lily jumped out of her chair as the smoke alarms were screaming and we were trying to figure out what had gotten hit. Once the rain slowed down, everyone in the neighborhood walked around looking for where the lightening struck.... the huge Oak tree in our front yard!!! It struck about half way down the tree and is a scary site! Well things got crazier and crazier in my life since that lightening struck the tree and was felt through my body. Things went from good to bad and bad to good. Unexpected things happened in my life. Overall, that thunderstorm has taught me to dance in the rain rather then waiting for the storm to pass because you never know what moment can be your last!
