Sooo yeah, dunno if you guys got hit with it too, but yesterday night there was a really severe thunderstorm. Strangely enough, it was only for like 15 minutes. Anyway, some lightning came really close to us, and I saw the lights in my room get brighter following this crackling sound....Normally I'm stubborn enough to just keep the TV or computer on, but after experiencing that I was like, "Well ****. Perhaps I should just call it a night".
Anyway, I'm giving a little background info because I got home a little bit ago and apparently when that lightning hit it knocked out all of our home phone lines. My mom had Comcast come out to check it out and I guess there was like an internal overload (lol, I originally typed overlord) that just so happened to molest all of our phones. So yeah, our phone lines are shot along with every single phone. Also, it fobbed up my mom's fax machine along with our...oven (I don't even know how that one got affected)....And if that weren't enough, it also kicked the crap out of our home security system (RIP Simon). So yeah...gg's, lightning. Well played, well played.
