>Ever since last summer’s lightning strike, we’ve been very careful. The conversations in our house run something like this.
Husband: I hear thunder.
Daisy: I’ll turn off the computer.
Husband: Don’t forget to unplug the modem!
La Petite: Must you be so paranoid?
Daisy and Husband: YES.
>We just had a multitude of storms run through in the last few days. WOW…you forget how loud they can get! Our power was off and we were reading by lamplight…enjoying each others company. I rather liked it!
>It’s the opposite in my house – I run around unplugging things while my hubby laughs at me. The house behind us got struck last year and it scared the daylights out of me!
>We had an awful storm three Fridays ago and lost power from 7 or so in the evening until 1:30 on Saturday afternoon. The kids were having withdrawal symptoms: no TV, computer, ACK!
