Drivin home Thursday afternoon, I hear on the radio that a tornado warning
had just been issued in muh 'hood... I get home just in time to check the
doppler, then the aptmt. got a direct hit from lightening. Out went the TV
and it's associated accessories, cable modem, router, laptop, etc, etc, etc.
Living on the top floor on the windward side of a small hill, knowing that
nasty ol red/green hook on the radar was within 1/4mi of my place I hit the
door. Having just enough time to check the weather rock... IT'S GONE!!!!
So now I now the wind is blowing (hence the missing weather rock), I grab
myself by the ear and tote me downstairs to hide out.. *&$@!!! you midwest
folk can keep those dang ol storms to yourselves!!!
Good news is no major damage, save for the TV, etc, router, laptop... pissy
thing is my renter's insurance only covers $1k worth, thanks to the agent
that didn't listen to what I needed covered, and thanks to me for not double
checking behind him.
