We just had a very strong thunderstorm here in south Florida. During the storm two of the electrical wires crossed doubling the voltage coming into our house. We were just having lunch and then we start hearing explosion noises. Everything was popping, the lights would turn really bright and just explode. Almost every electronic in the house is broken including: ac, refrigerators, washer, dryer, tvs, and computers. It was a very scary moment, thank god nothing caught fire because my dad went and immediately cut the power. The house was full of smoke from all of the burning electronics. Luckily everyone is safe which is what matters.

It was sort of a reality check of how your life changes in a matter of seconds, because we were preparing to go on vacation tonight to the keys. Luckily, everyone is fine, and that no one was hurt and things could have been a lot worst.

It was also a very scary experience for Dino, he ran under my bed and didn't want to come out, he was scared to death.

Everyone here is still shaken up. Right now FPL is here working on our power, and fixing the lines, and we are in the process of filling out a claim form. Things happen for a reason and I am glad we didn't leave for vacation last night as was originally planned, because the house could have caught fire.
