An incredibly unfortunate situation - a family’s home in my dad’s neighborhood was struck by lightning not too long ago. Completely destroyed. Nothing left to salvage.
I passed by it today and happened to have my camera with me. The family obviously isn’t living there anymore, and the front door was slightly ajar. I pushed it open, curious to see inside. The first thing that caught my eye was this one detail - a sign still hanging on the wall that read “Simply Blessed.”
Ironic, but also deeply sad.
Zappped is the scientific term
Zing!
Surely they are simply blessed as they could have been struck along with the house.
That's what I took from it.
Could you imagine being in the house? That would be insane.
That’s truly heartbreaking. It's hard to imagine the weight of such loss. Not just the house itself, but all the memories and moments that were once held inside those walls. And yet, that sign still hanging there… “Simply Blessed”. In a strange way, it feels like a quiet reminder that even in tragedy, life can still carry meaning, even if it’s hard to see at the moment.
Exactly. Well said.
wow! this looks so bad. what about a home insurance? was the lightning struck not covered?
Not too sure. I'm sure they're struggling with that now as they have been gone for a few days now with no improvement or clean up
Jesus Christ! I hope they have a good home insurance!
Likewise.
Count your blessings...
I do everyday myself
That's pretty wild. Do they not ground houses there?
Hmm, I'm not too sure
That hit me. Tragic and haunting… that Simply Blessed sign makes it even more powerful.
