We just had one heck of a sever thundrstorm. It was loud and right on top of us. Our soular system went into backup mode because of the thunder, but i'm glad it seems to have eased off. Or so I thought. While taking a screen break, I jumped because thunder was a bit loud and unexpected. I'm glad our house is as strong as it is.

@thislittlepennyearns That's great! We use Enphase in my opinion it's one of the best. And, it's smart, too.

@Ineeddentures He seems a lot like himself, moving around a bit. Even though he still scoots around in one of my old wheelchairs, to get around the living room, he's figured out how to navigate it in more complicated situations while holding things in one hand. So, while I panicked a little with him wanting to go to bed early, not eat, and things like that, he still felt good enough to care about things. And, that's why I didn't call emergency serviceses, because I knew this would pass.
I just think he over did it going out two days in a row in this florida heat. But, he has money coming to him, and he wanted to make sure it got mailed out. When we have something with our personal information it, we don't put it in our mailbox and just cross our fingers. We take it streight to the post office.

We get some pretty hefty storms around our area as well
like just last week we had rain for 7 full days, it has most
of Indiana flooded, but the weather is changing everyday
& fall will be our next weather norm for a few months.

No, not really. I'm used to things like this. I do live in Florida after all and in the spring and summer severe thunderstorms can be a daily occourance. I was just startled a bit from the unexpected thunder after I thought the storm had passed.
