Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
When no one could sleep, not even a mouse.
Lightning struck but every five minutes
And the streets flooded over outside
Then lighting struck our house
Okay so like lightning struck very close to our house at about 3:00 AM Christmas day. No fires were started as far as I could tell but the storms had been going on all night and no one could sleep mostly. So I was up and texting my friend while my phone was charging bc she couldn't sleep either. My thumb rested casually on the part of the charger that plugs into the phone.
Then the loudest lightning strike hit.
A jolt of electricity struck through my hand and the rest of the house. The alarms went hay wire and went off way louder than normal. Disoriented, I walked out of my bedroom to find everyone else in my house up as well.
Later we discovered all that the incredible strike of lightning had destroyed: our garage system, our alarm system, my xbox 360, my brother's xbox 360, our living room cable box for our main tv, the cable tv throughout the whole house, our router, our cable internet connection and our phone line.
