I hope tomorrow is much less exciting! <BR/><BR/>Lightning struck a power box behind a neighbor's home a few years ago. Everyone in the neighborhood loss some items. It surged at our house and blew through a television, toaster, microwave oven and coffee maker. It was amazing! When the lightning struck we all saw a huge fireball fly into the sky followed quickly by the surge.
