Lightning Attack

[tursiops93]

OK...not to me or any ski, but the house got hit by lightning @ 3:40 AM Sat. morning. My roommate was asleep on the bed in these pics. The bolt hit the halfway up the roof, travelled under the porch and into his room.

My roommate yelling at me that "something happened", but didn't know what. I smell smoke and burning electrical.....I poop myself.....find flashlight (no power) and look in his room....sheetrock chunks and dust all over everything....huge hole in wall with smoke billowing out...I poop again. Roomy gets fire extinguisher out of ski (hehehe), I call fire dept...we both run outside into the rain...sh!ttIng ourselves. Took a breath.

 

[Moondance]

Man...after all that sh!tting, I hope you had the fire dept. hose you two down...lol

Seriously, that's some crazy juju right there:bigeyes:

 

[turbohatch3]

is that house rented?

 

[tursiops93]

is that house rented?

Yes. Landlord was here at 7 am that morning...had an electrician here at 9 am and as soon as the insurance adjuster gets done tomorrow, he will get the repairs started. I am lucky to have a fantastically cool landlord.

That's one lucky roommate and it looks like he came real close to getting his azz zapped. :scared:

He has a ruptured eardrum and judging from burn marks in the carpet, the current did go through his bedframe. The headboard, mattress and boxsprings all have burns on them. We (especially him) were VERY lucky there was no lasting fire.

Holy crap!

I probably would have emptied an entire clip before realizing what was going on.

i bet he had to throw his boxers and sheets away

Dude, i was in Texas during that storm and couldn't sleep cause the K-dub was shaking so much. Next day had to drive through a flash flood across US-82, check it.

This is what i was hauling, a 38 foot Regal.

The fact that there are no sheets on the bed brought me to the same conclusion. Wow!
Looks like god missed. What'd he do piss on a church or hit a nun?

Oh gosh you should thank God your alive.... literally. Do you see the face of Jesus on the wall. It's miracle.

 

[SXIPro]

Now maybe everyone will stop asking "Why the hell do I need a fire extinguisher on my ski?"

It's to put out your room mates bedroom, of course!!
