Boy, glad I don't live in natural disaster country
anymore. I'd still take an earthquake once every hundred
years, good thing I don't live in earthquake country either.

I don't live in natural disaster country either, but last night we had our
first tornado warning in my memory. I haven't seen a storm like that in
a *looooong* time.

Well, we never get Tornado warnings, a matter of fact,
since I moved out here the only warning we get are for
rivers rising to flood stage. We do get winter storm
warnings for the Sierra, but that's about the only
warnings we get.

The whole sky was lit up almost continuously with
lightning and there was a torrential downpour.

I love to watch lighting. I can imagine the down pour,
been back east when it rains cats & dogs.


A lot of folks lost power; it wasn't pretty. I shut down the pc and
pulled
the phone line from the dsl modem.

Good call.

Lost the satellite TV a few times as
well (and there is a new 3 head dish up there with signal strengths 50%
higher than when the system was first installed, but still lost the
signal).


Now that would suck if your watching the finals or a race

It is overcast now and hasn't rained in over 12 hours. Still quite a bit
of
standing water in the street.


Best regards from Rochester, NY

Well, it's got to get better............
