Beware T-storm time is here The National Weather Service is predicting a chance of thunderstorms for the immediate future. Lightning is one of nature's most beautiful and dangerous displays. Thunderstorms bring uncertainty, from several inches of rain in less than an hour to destructive lightning and high winds. The fist major thunderstorm front to hit the region this week caused power outages and downed trees. Severe lightning strikes were reported in several locations causing thousands of dollars in property damage. When severe lightning is expected, the one sure way to protect your electrical appliances is to unplug them. Surge protectors help but a strong electrical surge can still cause damage even to "protected" appliances. Unplugging your computer may not be enough. Dialup users need to remember to also disconnect the phone line running to the computer's modem.
Lightning kills. Thinks first about your own safety.
