Storm Round II
It was sunny and hot just an hour ago. Two hours ago I considered going for a nice, long bike ride (the real fruit smoothie B placed in my hand was a great deterrent). And now?
Rain. Wind. Thunder. Lightning. I saw a bolt come pretty low about 300 yards from my front porch while I was out taking my hanging flower pots down. And the power keeps flickering.
I know I should probably hop off the computer, but it's not like the lightning could possibly hit a(n underground) cable line and zap my computer.
Right?

it's not so much the lightning hitting the cable line, as the lightning hitting the power line, unless that too is underground. it's when the lightning hits the power line and causes a surge, or hits a tree near a power line which falls on the power line and suddenly you lose electricity, which can also be quite hard on your computer.
The weather sucks in Anchorage, too. You're not alone. I'm having a breast cancer motorcycle poker ride today . . . WAAAAAA
