Our well actually got a direct lightning hit yesterday, and had to be replaced. We were without water for the entire day, and got it back around 8 last night. When it hit it sounded like a big piece of furniture fell down and it shook the house. Really scary! But, we survived and got a taste of what it's like without water for a day. It ain't fun! At least we had power. :) Now we're just preparing for high winds & some flooding, which should't be an issue because we're on a hill but need to watch the pool doesn't overflow & collapse. Of course, never thought a tornado would hit right next to our house, either, but one did this summer.
