Lightning storm struck the house yesterday evening while I was at my mother's house and got the old 80s microwave melted spreading toxic fumes all thru the house. I got there opened all the doors while holding my breath and got fans going to blow fresh air in the house. Discovered the smoking microwave and pulled it out of the house. Opened it's door and it started burning so I hosed it down. Almost lost my house but thank God I got home when I did! Left the fans and vents running all night to get the stench out of the house and replaced the AC filter that was filthy from the toxic fumes. Inside the microwave it looked like the light on top melted it's plastic lens which then started burning the rag and oven gloves I had in the microwave since I never used it.
We had another major thunderstorm hit yesterday at around 5 pm.Luckily the 3 tornadoes associated with this storm missed my place.I could see the shelf and wall cloud from my house as they passed overhead.I'll be doing more yard clean up today and more burning of downed tree branches.Best Wishes - Tom

That could have been bad Gil. I’m glad that your house didn’t catch fire.
I am glad the damage was minimal.
😲😲😲 !!!!! Good thing the house didn’t catch fire! I had a breaker trip from our storms, and some of the hail was pea sized. I’ll take those over toxic gases any day. I hope you got the air cleared out today.
My wife talked me into take her out to see a movie.
I wonder if there is a marked point in life where we turn into our parents.

In my case, it's always asked "will you ever wear a dress". Nope and don't attempt to put one on me either, somebody will end up in the hospital, there will be a serious butt whoopen' for sure.

Hard to be useful in a dress huh Kris. Well tomorrow will be time for me to hike my skirt and get back to work. Now where did I leave my bonnet...
