I'm having Mike Jensen repair the roof, Mike is Mikej who sells a lot of guns on Gunbroker, but his company had over 400 calls about damage from this storm. We had a tall, grounded mast that the electric service lines comes into and which is supposed to act as a ligthning rod, but that didn't seem to help. A general handiman from the local parrish will do the interior repairs, but we are on a waiting list for everything. Thankfully we have good USAA homeowners insurance, an adjustor says about $10,000 of damage. Shocking how much but they know the costs better than me because I've owned this house for many years and paid it off at least ten years ago.
Yes, good thing nobody got hit by lightning while riding. We had storm after storm and Kansas is known for watching lightning storms roll across the plains. I couldn't even outride them they were coming so fast and I find it very difficult to maintain 20mph on a bike for very long. We had those storm chaser cars with radar driving along with us at times.
Thanks for the concern, and we will be fine.
