Juat a few days ago, it started storming so bad that the eletricity in our home got short-circuited into only half power. We had to fix it by replacing the fuses altogether. Our home wasn't the only damage, unfortunately. The roads flooded, there were quite a few car accidents, and I'm sure others lost electricity as well. I'd heard later that lightning had struck 500 times in only an hour. This was surprisingly a bad storm, seeing as it lasted for only one day before heading on down the coast towards Galveston.
