Glad your all ok !!!
We get power surges galore during lighting storms- and it sucks!!!! To date we lost our oven, microwave oven, foodsaver sucky bag thingy, treadmill, water heater, water softener, two tv's , two room monitors, three clock radios, two modems, toaster oven and That's all in two years time!! We now have expensive computer surge protectors on all the big stuff. It worked for our big screen tv's and computers so we are using them for everything else..

I am sure the rain helped with that. The tree is split from top to ground BUT we left it alone and it survived. Everyone kept telling us to cut it down but we wanted to give it a chance to heal. And it did. That was 2 years ago and it has fully recovered other than the split down it. Crazy huh?
Just thought I would share my scary story. Because I had to take the kids out for the bus 20 minutes after that :) I was very scared to go outside.
Super glad you are all ok and hopefully your homeowners insurance will reimburse you for all of the damage. :)
