Well, my internets been down the last few days, so forgive me for not being on but.

My house was hit with lightning - although not directly. It supposibly hit across the street, used the ground as a conductor and hit our house. I was rigth outside the window where it hit 1-2 feet from the window, on the computer (Now I had no idea it was this close) My screen went purple and I heard a really loud BOOM and saw the lightnign and went runnningggg xD

Yeah. So thats where I've been. It fried our phones, our cable modem, etc. But most of its all fixed now =) Scary experiene nevertheless

    Wow that's freaky! Your screen went purple? That's weird. I guess that happens only in a lightning storm tongue.gif Were any other homes in your neighborhood affected by it?

    Ahaha, wow.. intense.. I'd probably just be like super mad and get something to eat... then I'd sleep for the remaining days until it was fixed.

    Haha. laugh.gif So you'd go in hibernation mode?

    That must have been really scary. I'm suprised that nothing else was fried.
