It was real scarry having live wires sparking in our yard and pool for 14 hours. Im glad that all that happened to my house. I have only had the pool and cover for 4 months. My kids were mad that thpool has really big holes in it. I told the that Im glad it was to pool and cover damaged instead of them hurt or the house hurt. I told them to start saving their money again to buy another pool. They saved for over a year for this one, but its a good lesson to learn that mother nature has a temper worse than theirs. lol
