I should add that most of the stress happened when I first heard there was a problem. The message was that the house was on fire. My daughter (teenager) was alone at home and I was 30 minutes away, and she called, crying hysterically, saying the fire alarms were going off and she thought she smelled smoke and the alarm panel said there was a fire in the master bedroom ... she wanted to find all the animals. I told her to get outside and stay out, and call 911. My third son, who prizes his Siamese cat above rubies, was with me. He knew his sister couldn't go back inside and was glad she was out, but he was white as a sheet the whole way home (so was I, I imagine). So finding that we had had a lightning strike without a fire was major good news.

Still, that kind of good news can wait a long while before we need it again!!
