As I posted last week we have a horrific storm here in Richmond VA Thursday night into Friday morning.

The official total in is:

From Jan. 1 to Thursday at 6 p.m., lightning struck the region about 38,000 times, according to Dominion Virginia Power. <-- that is ALL YEAR

From 6 p.m. Thursday to 3 a.m. yesterday, the company recorded 38,500 lightning strikes.

Yeah it was that bad. And we got hit hard again last night-the local CBS station had their third string guy doing cut ins everything seemed to be East of the city so I didn't think much of the rain that was starting up. Next thing I know there is water coming in UNDER one of our windows upstairs and this morning I go out to find our garden basically at a 45 degree cant.

I think God is trying to kill me. If you are up there, HELP ME SUPERMAN!!!
