Well I usually dont share all my drama cause I figure everyone has enough of their own... but since the forum is so dead maybe this can liven it up. This is what happened to my family yesterday:
During a thunderstorm lightning struck one of my front pin oak trees..... Most importantly no one was hurt!!!! but it got my water meter in the process and a water pipe.... So I am without running water since yesterday at around 4:30..... I am a bit STRESSED to say the least.... Richard is working on a quick fix for it, for the time being until we can think of what we are going to do. The insurance lady will be here tomorrow... and ECO came yesterday and fixed their part.... ****STANDING OVATION FOR ECO!!!!**** I am just not sure if homeowners will cover it so that is my main concern. The lady is coming to tell me Mon.
I am so sad though cause my mom planted these trees when we moved here. I was in 4th grade.... and I hate to see it go not to mention how the front of the house will look off balance but I guess we will make it work..... I dont think the tree can be saved.... and we might have to cut it down to get to the busted pipe(s) underneath it anyway. ..... Oh yeah not to mention this is the second time lightning has struck at our house last time I was in about 6th or 7th grade and it struck the antenna on the house and messed up all the tvs and blew up the nintendo... LOL It was right after Christmas... It sucked too!
This is what happens when lightning strikes:
The little water puddle is where our side of the pipe is busted somewhere underneath.
You can see the big puddle where the meter is busted, along with bark.
It will look bare without the tree there
