I know it's a bit late to tell you this now - I was always told to switch off my computer during lightning storms because if you get a power surge it can fry your hard drive - happened to my Dad  ;) ::)

Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

I never knew that. :o We had a big rain storm the other day, tornado warnings and all. Partially filled my new exercise pool since the roof isn't on yet. Oh that reminds me, I need to update my new house photos.

I Have a power Surge Protector that states on the guarantee that
if my computer frys - they will give me a million pounds  ;D ;D ;D

Dare say it will never happen - but I do still turn off in lightening storms
