Guest guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 I Everyone ! I sure have missed you greatly, and now have a million email to catch up on. I have had something really strange happen to me. 3 weeks ago, lightening struck a tree in my backyard and split it up 3 way. We had hail the size of golf balls, and the wind was incredible, it lasted about 15 minutes, then left. then last week, out of the blue a storm came in only in my area and lightening struck my house.....this was at 10:06 pm sunday last week. Some really strange things happened during this, and I am not sure what any of it means, but there was a bolt of lightening that went through my house, and it was about 2 in diameter and looked like a welding rod when it is firey red hot. There is NO burned spots on or in my house. My TV became striped diagonally with red, blue, and green, with some purple and the VCR was not on, but when I tried it the next day, it did not work, I put a tape in it and it was all slurred deep voice speaking, and no picture, just grey with squiggleys. The next day the TV worked tho, but only alittle blue left in the bottom left corner. Anyway, back to sunday when the lightening went thru the house, only one of my clocks did anything strange, and it jumped 2 hours to 12:06. Normally if there is an interruption in the electricity, it blinks and in at 12 til you fix it. Then my phones were out, and so was my computer. The computer is still out, not sure what happened to it, but what I think happened is the phone line fried the modem. I have 2 surge protecters on the computer. and nothing else had any problems. and no fried electrical. The VCR started working properly on wednesday, the phone started working on thursday night, just out of the blue, very weird.... Anyway, me and my daughter both felt electricity go thru us and we felt strange the rest of the night. My heart device that is hooked up to the phone isnt working, so I still have to call them, also I need to find out if that lightening bolt could have done anything to my heart device. Very strange week. Anyway, my daughter just took me up to this place called goodwill computers, and I got a refurbished dell for 80 bucks so I could at least get online and back to helping all I can. It is slow, and I have to use version 7.0 of aol, but at least I am back ! Love you all and missed you all greatly ! Dede**************Gas prices getting you down?
