Good morning!
We had a 'cracker-jack' storm last night! The lightning & thunder were coming at the same time, very high winds, and of course....lots and lots of rain! When we have storms like this, I always expect the huge spruce tree in my back yard to either get struck by lightning, or to lose the top because of the wind! Naturally, neither happened!
The Question Of The Day....
When you have huge lightning/thunder storms, do you unplug your delicate electical equipment (like your computer?)
I do when I'm home, or before work, when the weather station sounds like it might be a bad one. I did have a computer struck by lightning a couple of years ago, and my homeowners insurance replaced it. Even so...I'd rather not experience it again. I unplugged my computer at 4:02 am this morning, and went out in the sunporch to watch the storm for a bit, before I went back to bed!
