my lil'Chomel

Non-stop lightning and thunder. Strong wind. These add on to my fear when the weather takes a sudden turn and starts to rain after a very hot afternoon. The abrupt change of weather (from extreme hot to cold) signals for lightning and thunder to strike non-stop. The main fuse in my house was tripping like nobody business and to make things worse, water started to "pour" in as well. Well, the leaking happened in a few spots in the house causing us running helter skelter for cloth and buckets to contain the imminent flood. Till at one point we just stand around in the dark and play the wait-and-see game. The weather went calmer, the leaking stops and the fuse stop tripping. Thank God! I know this will pass... just hope that it passes by real quick before more damage happens.

I think it is because of the location of my house which is on slightly higher ground that always manage to catch the strong vicious wind of our current weather. There was once, roof tiles flew off from a few houses in this area but normally, the strong wind manage to cause the zinc cap to open up and allowing rain water to go into the house. I hope the roof tiles are still intact.

I believe that this weather is permanent and will grow to be harsher by the day. Hot afternoons are just so hard to go by without air conditioning the house. It may sound like we are pampered lot but seriously... the heat is rising each year. Sigh, I just don't know what else we can do to help this situation.
