That bolt that gave you the 2x4's may have also taken your pump. I've had mine hit a few times in the past from lightning strikes close to it and the bolt will travel underground to the well casing and down- bye bye pump. Ron |

We drive north of Tiverton 4 corners right into the cell...torrential rain, hail and tree parts falling everywhere.
At one point I was out of our car with 3 other people getting soaked trying to remove a fallen tree so we could get home.
Near mini-disaster, then the power went out for an hour...
Life is nearly back to normal, although everywhere we usually sleep is very wet.
