I live in DeLuna. There are quite a few homes here with an LPS, but of course the majority do not as in all villages. The storm was especially wicked that night (Saturday not Friday). Monday night we also had 5” of rain in less than two hours along with even more intense lightning than Saturday night. On Saturday night though we had not only that villa struck, but also a street sign at the entrance to one of the two for our veranda neighborhood knocked down with a strike and a water main broken at that spot too. Our veranda neighborhood lost water for awhile, with some of us getting it back sooner than others. It was truly the worst night of lightning we’ve had in our three summers here so far. The storm on Monday night filled our ponds to almost overflowing, and gave us some ponds where we normally only have them after a hurricane. It’s been a wild few days!
