After living through a tornado in college, I also won't own a house w/o a basement. Even though I don't think there's ever been any record of a tornado up here in the mountains, I still herd everyone into the basement if there's a watch. I moved from "Tornado Alley" in Cobb County GA and I remember dragging the lady who used to come in and cook for me down to the basement with the dogs and the cat when the sirens went off one day  |
There's a thunderboomer going on here right now. :D
So the computer is okay basically (mine isn't connected to the phone line, but I do have cable modem). The thing I've always avoided is taking a shower during lightning storms. But I find it hard to quit what I'm doing on the computer usually, because usually I have 10 or 15 programs and various windows open.
