Glad you're back, but especially that you're OK!!

WOW -- had to replace all the wiring??

Growing up in rural SC, we were the end of the line so we got hit often (no fires). We were relieved of the problem when the Joyners' built down from us. Thunderstroms were frightening for a number of years. Just glad that you are back with the house in one piece (sorta).

Glad to have you back, it was good to hear that everything was phyisically OK for you, but what a shame about all the things we rely on such as the net.

Glad to hear you weren't crispied along with everything else.

Welcome back.

Welcome back SB. Not a fun thing to replace all that wiring. Helped Dad replace wiring in a house we were re-building a few years ago but that would not be as much trouble. Glad to see everyone and the house itself came out OK.
