My parents have lived in their house on Lowes Creek for twenty two years. Throughout those years, the house and property have gone through many changes, but a constant was the absolutely giant twin White Pine trees that towered over the front of the property. One of those beauties was struck by lightning this week. It basically exploded. Windows were broken, the siding damaged, and there are electrical problems. Even the pictures fell off the wall and the pod lights fell out in the kitchen. My Mom was home at the time, and if the tree had fallen even a few feet closer to the house, she could've easily been killed. We're feeling so grateful that it wasn't worse. Though the cleanup is a pain and dealing with the insurance claims is not fun, we're so glad the people are safe, the house is still standing strong, and that everything broken can be repaired.
