We had a horrible storm last night. A transformer was struck by lightning a block away. It shook my house. It lit the sky up for like 30 mins.... Then another crack of lightning and another weird sound after. Lost power for like 5 hours.

This is what was the weird sound after the lightning....

I finally got it cleaned up. Luckily no damage!

Thats not a nice wake up call. The glass top on my patio table shattered in the storm.

Yes I am lucky. A house a couple blocks away a 20 Ton, yes 20, fell on the house. Was all over the news!

Thank God!
