Ten years ago there were monster thunder storms here in Dallas, I mean these
bad boys would last for 6+ hours. Not many like that anymore, still bad, but
typically they blow through in an hour or so. I have two different neighbors
that have been hit, in their backyards and both incidents destroyed pretty
much everything electronic in the house. I now unplug my antenna if the
storms are close.

Thunderstorm season seems to be starting early this year. Currently have
some cells moving across Lake Michigan, kicking up a bit of a racket on
the MW band as I listen to WLS 890 (50 kw blowtorch) in Chicago.

All the antennas here are unplugged. About to roll a few smokes and step outside
to watch it roll in. Should hit the shore here in just a bit.
