Default Lightning show last night

I have never seen so much lighting in my life like the ones last night. Huge strikes too! What a show on my way from work to my house. Wife says that the house lost power like 5 times. Super hard rain too. Texas sure has wild weather when we get it.

Good show, but my only complaint is that the popcorn was too buttery and tasted like tin foil wrapper from a spoiled burrito.

That was some crazy lightning. At one point, my power went out, it tripped the breaker for my smoke alarms, and all 6 alarms were going off until we could get up the ladder, take them down and take out the backup batteries. I like stormy weather, but I hope that never happens again with the smoke alarms, especially at 4 am.

What a show! The lightning was so bright, it seemed like it was right on top of us. Luckily no damage; we just lost internet and phone for a while (satellite TV somehow weathered the storm just fine.) Hope everyone else made it through without any serious problems.

A lot of people in SA have allergy problems, but if I'm not mistaken, most of those are caused by cedar not mold. You might be ok here, but perhaps someone who suffers from allergies may be able to help you better, I am fortunately, not allergic to anything.
