Tim,

K>Well.. not really.. when the lightening gets close enough I do go inside..
K>after a while you lean how it all works and where it is and will be..

  I originally was going to name my system "The Wall Cloud BBS"...but
two of my first users...a mother and her son...had a hand in the start
of it. She suggested the name, and he provided the opening ANSI
lightning bolts...which I still use today.

K>the only thing that scares me with storms is wind.. especially straight line.
K>theres not predecting those.

  I've been under 2 tornadic funnel clouds...within a mile of an F-1 and
an F-4 tornado...am a 2 time lightning strike survivor (indirect...but I
still got the shock), and in swirling floodwaters. So, I get paranoid
during threats of severe weather.

  As for the lightning strike, I carry no electrical charge, and can be
handled safely. 

  One Sysop had his computer plugged in when he took a direct hit, and
the monitor literally melted!!

Daryl
