We were sitting in bed, drinking tea, watching a wild storm through the windows when there was a sharp crack: Dave saw lightning flow down the supporting post and I saw a flash near the gang plug at the foot of it. It was very scary.
We always turn off the inverter and the internet in an electrical storm. We lost a couple of inverters early on, and we've heard horror stories of fried computers from friends. So we stayed in bed, wondering if our whole electrical system was crisped.
When the storm moved away, Dave turned on our electrics, and they were fine. So we think it was St Elmo's fire in the bedroom. Not something I want to experience again!
