Hi, A few days ago we had a sudden and nasty thunderstorm, I was standing between the sink and stove when a huge flash happened. We took a lightening hit on the telephone pole which traveled up the line and blew up the junction box just below the kitchen window, there was a big crack and the casing flew in two parts several metres into the yard. A big blue and white flash actually in the kitchen just at head height above the sink where I had just moved from and the overhead light was blown out. All in all a quick reminder as to Mother Nature's power and now it seems quite sensible to me to want to hide when there is a thunderstorm.
I can appreciate the nervousness experienced by dogs but I don't judge their character by it, they are the smart ones if they seek shelter! By the way that was why I was quiet on the list for a few days because although we were not on-line both computers had their modems fried! Glad I wasn't yacking on the telephone or my brain would be crispy too! We found half the junction box cover and Mudpuppy Wilma trotted in with the other half, a prize in the aftermath:-) Rescue dog in the making:-) Rose T.
