Right. Just some dark sky, wind, and a bit of thunder.

Might be malfunctioning, or they could have it set to "Bypass".

Sitting in our screenhouse up north. Big storm coming through now . I loved watching the rain, have a bloody Mary bar set up reading a book and occasionally looking at TOTV. Waiting for the cow to come thru, could use a good steak for dinner, othwise its pasta

I was renting for one week and a thunderstorm burned down a home in the NW corner of TV. WOW - That had me shaking in my boots, for a couple of minutes.

I have had lightning rods installed on my home and don't fear the storms as much as I use to but they are something to behold, when we have a big one.

I have several solar tubes in my home and I know when we have a big one, as my living room becomes a disco tech with the lightning array.

"When the thunder roars, go indoors", is an apt saying.

In Gilchrist West we had a tropical like storm.
Rained so hard it hit our sliders.
The lake behind us looked crazy.

Tomorrow we're having our lanai glassed in.
Best decision we've made!
