Last friday, at about 4 pm, the avocado tree at the back of our house was struck by lightning. Branches were scattered everywhere. My brother described it as deafening. My youngest sister was said to be sleeping. Our househelper just smilingly reported the incident when my other sister got home from school (creepy!). My dad’s theory is that the electricity passed through the roof causing the dysfunction of our TV, computer and playstation. Thank God nobody was hurt.
