Big thunderstorm here in Southern California. Very unusual for not only this time of year, but for ANY time. I felt rather uncomfortable about leaving things plugged in, so I disconnected the TV antenna (yep, no cable) and the DSL lines.
Yes. Orange County and Los Angeles County both got hit surprisingly quite hard and unexpectedly. Lightening was hitting within 300 feet of me here and I quickly shut down. The thunder was extremely loud overhead here. The lightening and thunder occured approximately 5-10 minutes apart. The rain, thunder and lightening continued throughout much of the day here. Far enough removed from me as not to be an immediate threat to my safety andwell being. The rain finally stopped this afternoon.
The chat room crashed on my machine about 9:45ish. Put in a note; no respose; another note; no response (on the screen: no refresh). Finally just got off the internet.
Nice to see a couple ones we don't see in the forums: Janet & wakipanuu(sp?).
