Lightning Strikes!

Random things happen to our family..

We were on our way home yesterday from picking up our last girl worker, Hildah. The bridge had about an inch of water when we left in the morning, but when we got back at 4pm, it was completely impassable. So we backtracked and got home about an hour and a half later.

By this time, we could see that a HUGE storm was coming. We unloaded quickly and retreated to the safety of our house...or so we thought!!

All of a sudden, it sounded like a gunshot went off in our dining room at one of our outlets. We all screamed and then I felt burning in my finger right above my wedding ring. Cambree starts screaming in complete fear. We then realized she was leaning up against her metal bed frame and it burned the back of her leg (very minor, but she was terrified)!

I hold her and try to console her as we walk into the kitchen and it does it again. We all scream and ran to our truck to get out of our house! We drove the 300 yards down to the workers house where they were cooking on their porch. They said they felt it too and Abby threw the metal knife she was holding because it was burning her hand when it hit.

It was crazy!!! I will never think the same way about lightning, and I'm sure neither will poor Cambree! She was scared to go into her room last night and sleep in her bed! We are all ok though, with no major marks/scars to show for it this morning. What a night!

(By the way, because Blu's finger wasn't burned above his wedding band, he claims that I must have gotten him a fake ring ;)
