right into jack's house!
roxana called yesterday to say that lightning had hit the patio. it was hard to believe and mommy thought maybe she had misunderstood the spanish. but there was no mistaking it when daddy got home to inspect:
poor jack had been in the bath at the time (yikes!) and was so scared he started crying. roxana scooped him up out of the water and they cowered for a while, trying to calm jack down. she said the whole house shook!
a neighbor to the back called and it turns out one of our trees was struck, leaving what she called "fairly dramatic spears" all over her yard and the street in front of her.
daddy thinks that the actual strike may have been on the tree and then the electricity traveled along the ground, exiting on the patio ... and in the process, exploding some of the bricks.
in the end, everyone's okay, and that's what's most important. and we can only hope that lightning doesn't strike twice!
