YIKES!! Looks like this Glee star barely escaped a potentially REALLY bad situation!!

Chord Overstreet’s home in Nashville, Tennessee was quite literally struck by lightning! Not kidding, Gleeks! It even took out his chimney!!

The actor took to his Twitter to share the bit of unfortunate news:

This is it, you guys!

The LAST episode of Glee we'll get before the far-too-long, torturous summer hiatus begins…which means there will be NO NEW MUSIC for MONTHS!

But before we succumb to withdrawal and the subsequent depression that comes with it, our aching heart can at least be soothed by the comfort of knowing that in the fourth season finale, All Or Nothing, our beloved friends at New Directions will be bringing the tunage HARD…some of which is even ORIGINAL music!

Before we got to that, however, ch-ch-check out Heather Morris, Jenna Uskhowitz, Becca Tobin and Alex Newell SLAYING Icona Pop's anthemic smash I Love It (above)!

But that's not all the FEROCITY New Directions brings to Regionals this year!

There's also Kevin McHale, Chord Overstreet, Samuel Larsen and Blake Jenner's take on Hall of Fame by The Script; American Idol's Jessica Sanchez getting her chance to SHINE as rival Glee club member Frida Romero during her renditions of Wings by Little Mix and DJ Zedd and the Foxes' Clarity; and of course, Melissa Benoist and Darren Criss crooning the episodes title track, written by her character Marley!

Of course, this all takes a SUPREME backseat to the incomparable Miss Lea Michele, who sends CHILLS down our spine as she DOMINATES the Celine Dion classic To Love You More during Rachel's Funny Girl CALLBACK…and you can hear it - and all the rest - AFTER THE JUMP!!!

The gods have spoken!!

Sarah Jessica Parker needs to find a way to get back on Broadway!

This rendition of At The Ballet — which also features Lea Michele, Chris Colfer, and Naya Rivera — is so beautiful, we're contemplating dropping everything right now and taking a last-minute flight to the Big Apple for a lil' showtime ourselves!!

It's different yet so poignantly the same as the original Chorus Line version.

Ch-ch-check it ouuttt (above)!!!

But that wasn't the only gem in Glee's episode of Lights Out!

Meanwhile, the New Directions perform their first A-cappella song. Watch the Longest Time and all the others …AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Is it just us, or does the news that we'll all be getting TWO MORE SEASONS of all this and more make these tunes even that much more pleasing to everyone's ear holes?!

Yeah! We thought so!

Our beloved Glee is officially renewed for a fifth and sixth year on FOX, but before we can even get to that amazingness, we still have a few more episodes from this season to hopefully keep us satiated through the dark, Lea Michele-less summer months!

And from the looks of Lights Out, airing Thursday, we'll be good and stocked with some SERIOUS sonic greatness from our friends at McKinley High…and the much-anticipated return of Sarah Jessica Parker!

Ch-ch-check out New Directions, with the help of Matthew Morrison and Cory Monteith, tackling the anthemic We Will Rock You by Queen (above)!

And before you catch your breath, you can ALSO enjoy SJP's rendition of At The Ballet from A Chorus Line, also featuring Princess Lea, Chris Colfer and Naya Rivera; Blake Jenner doing R.E.M. proud with Everybody Hurts; The Glee Project winner joining up with Kevin McHale, Melissa Benoist, Jacob Artist, Becca Tobin and Chord Overstreet for Billy Joel's For The Longest Time; Jane Lynch DOMINATING Little Girls from the musical Annie; and lastly, Blake and Chord breaking out their very own version of The Righteous Brothers' You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

After the frightening, serious and all-too-real nature of last week's Glee, we found ourselves in pretty desperate need of comfort!

The kind of comfort, in fact, that only the melodious merging of vocal stylingz from two powerhouse divas can bring!

Thankfully, our prayers were answered, and on Thursday's new episode, Sweet Dreams, our beloved Idina Menzel has returned to do JUST THAT with her fictional daughter, Lea Michele!

That's right! The Broadway legend is BACK to help Rachel audition for her dream role, and what better way to prepare than with the incomparable Emeli Sande's smash hit, Next To Me?!

Give it a listen (above)!

We don't know about you, but we don't know whether we should try and shake away our goosebumps or wipe the tears from our eyes!

STUNNING!

But there is SO much more awesomeness where this came from!

In fact, prepare yourselves for a trip down memory lane with Lea and all the original New Directions members as they re-visit their first group song, Journey's Don't Stop Believin'; Cory Monteith and Mark Salling taking on Fight For Your Right To Party by the Beastie Boys; newbie Melissa Benoist showing off her "songwriting" talents with the help of Jacob Artist, Alex Newell, Blake Jenner and Becca Tobin on the original Outcast; as well as Marley and Unique joining up with Darren Criss and Chord Overstreet on the ALSO-ALL-NEW You Have More Friends Than You Know…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Uh-oh!

While we are SO excited that the three-week hiatus from Glee will FINALLY be coming to an end when a new episode, titled Shooting Star, airs this Thursday, we have a feeling that the recently-reported "unthinkable event" that is said to go down at McKinley High could have some SERIOUS ramifications on our beloved New Directions!

Why else would there be ONLY THREE new songs this week?!

GAH! Now we're all nervous and slightly scared for everyone!

Thankfully, however, we appreciate quality over quantity, and while the tune-age may be SCARCE this week, what is there manages to pack a punch!

For example, ch-ch-eck out Blake Jenner doing Elton John some serious justice with this stunning rendition of Your Song (above)!

While you're at it, give a listen to Chord Overstreet and mama-to-be Heather Morris declaring their love for each other with Extreme's More Than Words, as well as everyone in New Directions teaming up for Say by John Mayer…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Nice to see that in the wake of Cory Monteith's recent rehab stint, the cast of Glee is keeping spirits high!

Specifically speaking, we mean the boys of our beloved Fox smash, who clearly are using any spare moment they have to goof off on the McKinley High School set…and poke fun at the show's stern, baritone Principal Figgins!

Ch-ch-check out this HIGHlarious little clip Darren Criss posted to his Twitter, featuring Chord Overstreet and Harry Shum, Jr. (above)!
