LIGHTNING!!!

WOW.... We got a huge lightning hit yesterday about 4 pm. I had just come inside from bringing the cows (across the creek and through a very wet and open field) in for the night ... weird clouds and lots of lightning and thunder around when BOOM! Didn't even see the flash. Scared us all - granddaughter Brooklyn was still here. We are not sure exactly where it hit - maybe one of the wind turbine towers. Knocked the power out but Rob got it going again. Then we discovered that the phone and internet were not working. Then we discovered that one turbine was not working. Then we discovered that half of the light bulbs and one wall of outlets in the cow barn didn't work. Then we discovered the greenhouse fan didn't work. Then we discovered the almost brand-new freezer in the garage (full of pork) didn't work. This morning, Rob found the voltage to be extremely high in the house and all the barns so we are running on the generator until he figures out the problem. The phone guy was just here and when he opened up the little box outside all the wires and stuff were totally burned up - he did some repairs/replacing and at least we have phone & internet now. I'm going to have to make room in one of the house freezers for the pork and haul it down. Luckily, all the livestock, the house appliances, well pump, and my milking machine vacuum pump seem to be undamaged. And, one other really weird thing, my little battery operated pedometer, which I had in my pocket, is totally dead. MOTHER NATURE SHOWING OFF HER POWERS!
