For retired teacher Mr. Adams, the arrival of college students next door shattered his peaceful routine. Night after night, their bass shook his walls, their laughter echoed past dawn, and their dismissive attitudes stung. “Move to a nursing home,” they taunted when he asked for quiet. With law enforcement and HOA members mysteriously unresponsive to complaints, the elderly man and his neighbors felt powerless—until Mother Nature took matters into her own hands.
During one particularly rowdy party, a summer storm rolled in. Lightning struck their outdoor speakers in a spectacular burst of sparks, plunging the house into darkness. As the students fumbled with flashlights, the entire neighborhood finally slept soundly. By the time power was restored, city officials had approved strict noise ordinances—proving that sometimes, the universe delivers justice with perfect timing.
