Laugh... we sometimes we get the rain -but the lightening/high wind have not happened thus far.. in 13 years. It's very weird really - once we were watching a storm coming from the NW on television and the computer - the storm had VERY severe hail - we rushed out and got the car under cover (it was brand new at the time).. Lo and behold.. it split right around us! Bad hail/wind damage to the northwest of us and to the southeast - even in our neighborhood - but nothing for us.. whew.. We're up on a hill .. maybe that has something to do with it?
I'll keep you in mind in case we ever see a "storm of the century". We'll just set up a tent in your yard and ride it out. ;)
