UNBELIEVABLE lightning storm, here.
It's flashing nearly continuously. It put my power out for a few seconds, shut down everything.

I EVEN LOST DU!! :)

It's freaking crazy. I'm risking electrocution for DU, though.

FOR DU!!! :)

1. Maybe you should turn your computer off
Don't want to get your modem or your computer fried and have no internet access for days or weeks.

That happened to us sometime back. It was very annoying.

Funny how dependent we've become on the internet. I honestly cannot imagine my life without it. I mean, obviously I would be able to live and find what I needed - people did it forever. But now, given the wealth of access at my fingertips.

Anyway, seriously. Maybe you should turn it off.

3. Sounds like tornado weather...
I was a few blocks away when an F4 tore through Florida once. The lightning was almost continuous.
