Rain Rain go away. ITs time for sunshine in Indiana.

I'm so tired of the rain. It rained most of May and now has done
so in June.

I am not enjoying all this rain.

I need to find a hobby and also figure out why I feel so tired when it
rains.

I just want the warm weather back...it has been cool and cloudy....I do best hot and sunny.....I don't feel like doing anything when it is gloomy

My hobby transmitter antenna in a tree in the back yard got struck by lightning about a week ago. My power went out for a day,and the phone went out for two days. It was a power surge.

The antenna was blown into smithereens. It had a fiberglass shell around it that looked like shredded hay,and it was all over the place. Some of these fiberglass shreads where sticking in the ground like arrows shot into the ground,right under the tree.

The lightning didn't come into my radio room because I had thirteen ground rods grounded to the antenna,so the lightning went right into the ground. I also had my antenna wire in a mason jar filled with rubber,like the rubber of a tire. I had the radio's grounded with four ground rods. So no lightning came into the house.

I have another antenna that I will use. I'm not going to put another one in the tree for many reasons.

If this was too technical,I apollogize. BF

Dear Friend,

That sounds like a spectacular lightning strike!
I'm glad to hear that you and your radio are ok.

It was a direct hit. The lightning did not come down through the coax from the antenna. Thank God. The lightning went into the ground.

I heard a explosion up above,and so did the other person who lives upstairs in this house. BF

yeah no kidding that lightening sound like it was accurate.

Sheesh

The weather today was nice. But then i got tired and became very cold. So now I am wearing fleece sweater. But when the sun is not out i get sleepy and sluggish. I call this weather glum. But when the sun is out I feel more energy.
I am not sure how it effect my mood. I guess i just get crabby when I am tired.

lol

Friend... man this must have been wild. the description was not too technical for me. but woww... what a hit. I too am glad you are ok. It sounds like you were set up with major precautions already... good going there! ... all those grounding rods... wow...

Donna, have you checked your blood pressure at these times? The atmospheric pressure drops when there is rainy weather and storms. Many people are affected by it... it can also increase joint pains - arthritis, arthrosis and old injuries. Some could be the humidity but i think a lot is caused by the change in atmospheric pressure. And i'm wondering if it could cause a subtle drop in your blood pressure - that would make you feel tired.

just an idea
