Our First Big Texas Thunder Storm in the House
Well we have had our first big thunder storm here in the new house. We had seen a few in the apartment but being in the house was quite different.
One of the differences was that you can hear the intense rain hitting the roof. In the apartment we were on the first floor so we would not here it.
Another difference is that it matters to you when there are gallons of water pouring off the roof onto your landscape (the gardeners took care of it at the apartment).
Not only was the rain bad the lightning was pretty intense. One clap of thunder was so load that it set the alarm off on of Camry.
Another result of the lightning was that our cable box got fried. It was plugged into the electricity regulator that keeps the current at the right level but I guess it came in through the actual cable itself. I have heard of this before but have never known anyone that it has happened to.
Lastly, there was quite a bit of flooding across the street. Fortunately, it is not on our side but I am going to bring it to the attention of the Superintendent in case they are not aware of the drainage issues.
You can check out more pictures of the storm here (You have to go to the last page to see them).
