Thunderstorm

[HolyPhoenix]

Anybody else getting some close lightning and rain? Like so close you had to turn off your computer or pay dearly for it. Well that is the way it was here for about a half an hour.

I Quickly hit the post button. Then I realize that it decided to be retarded and take like 5 minutes. I wait about 3 and still it sits there laughing at me. I hit post a couple more times. Nope still nothing. So I exit and race to turn off the computer. I turn it off and I saw lightning almost a few seconds later, close enough that my hair raises. Then the storm goes away and I call it back right now by telling you guys about it.

Re: Thunderstorm

My parents' older computer was killed by lightning. First the power goes out, forcing the computer into an illegal shut down. The power comes back on, as does the computer. As it's checking the hard drive for damage, boom, power's out again! The hard drive was still usable, still could save some files, but pretty much dying.
