Lightning almost hit my house, fried most of my electronics and AC

It's suppose to cool off in the next few days thankfully.  I did ask the insurance company if they would cover the cost of putting my dog in a kennel so I could go stay with a friend until it gets fixed.  They told me maybe and it depends on temperatures between now and when it is fixed. So I'm not banking on that.

It really isn't that super terrible as far as temperature.  Right now it is 85 degrees inside cooled down for 88 earlier as there has been some recent cloud cover.  I have a fan that helps.  I spent time in hotter climates without AC when I was in the military so I'm sure I can tough it out.  It is the humidity that makes it seem worse.  I'd take a 95-100 degree day with almost no humidity over a 85 degree day with 60+ humidity any day.  :)


Thanks and I'm glad it wasn't worse as well.  Everything I lost is replaceable and my insurance will cover most of it.  Like I said it could have been worse and set my house on fire.  So I'm glad that didn't happen.

You might just have to spring for a window unit, out of pocket.  They're really not that expensive, and great to have in case of emergencies.  Heck, in a power outage in a Summer heat wave, you can run a window unit from a portable generator.  (I learned this spending several hurricane seasons, living near the beach)
