About an hour and a half ago, lightning struck a transformer down the street. I knew that at the time because the neighboring streets and the lower half of Dominguez Street (my street) were lit up still.
While all of my neighbors and in-laws walked around with their thumbs up their rears, I called the Philippine Utility Department (PUD) to make the report. It's a good thing I still use a phone that draws power from the phone line. Had I not made the call, we would still be without power, of that I'm certain.
Considering I live on the bundok (boondocks for all you Americans), an hour and a half is extremely fast when making repairs during a storm. This is one time that PUD did what it was paid to do.
