Hi HG48: Our house is on a ridge and a quarter of a mile off the road, so we are at the end of a lateral electrical power line and up high. That seems to part of why we get hit by lightning a lot.

I was not home but the wife and one son were home and they knew we had been hit by the noise/flash. Was popping all around.

The tornadoes are the things that are scary. We have had the second story of our home blown away by a tornado back in 1982, and a second one came through our field and blew away a barn and a rent house in 1981. We have also seen numerous funnel clouds that came within 2-3 miles of us. We have had lots of wind damage over the years from just heavy wind. Again, being on a ridge line like we are makes us catch a lot of wind.
