A thunder boomer came over night before last. I took a direct lighning hit to the shop and house. It fried every breaker in the both main boxes. Cracked them in half. I am still checking tools and appliances. So far I have lost a microwave and my bench top drill drill press (I was using it at the time. God bless GFS breakers). It scared the beegeevers out of me. I spent most of the evening installing a new breaker box, breakers and checking out the existing wiring. TXU (Texas Electric Utilities) had to replace the meter, lead-in wiring and a near by transformer. I got power back up at about 10:00pm last night. I'm back to better living thru electricty now. After 24 hrs with out it you sure learn to appreciate it.

I thought the gas line had exploded, the first instant but I figured it out as the lights went out. The clap was sooo loouud. Had a small fire on the roof but It went out on it's own. Not a sigle drop of rain in that storm, at my house any-way, just thunder and lighting.
