WHAT

My power WAS out, so was internet.
It came back like a minute later.
It was right in the middle of WoW, so I was like "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFforget."

Also my brother's computer jitters. Like just randomly, it'll freeze for a second and go back normally like nothing happened, and it affects audio. CPU percentage in Task Manager spikes up to 70% whenever it happens.

I was in a metallic building when a bolt hit it. All the lights flashed from the surge and anyone near the walls felt a slight tingle. I of course had my hand on a metallic door handle, so I got frazzled hair.

Last year, we had something that you're talking about here in Phoenix, Arizona.
It was amazing.

It looks like some of those storms are headed for Williamsport if I'm correct.

Yay!

Oddly enough when the Towson generator, god knows where it is, kicked in, the FiOs did too. I guess the Fiber Optics line wasn't destroyed, but the power was. No power = no router power = no FiOs.

Power came back, router rebooted successfully, phone and tv still worked.

Lightning is the thing that goes zap, and kills you.

When I was in Mumbai at my grandparents' apartment, I heard a lightning strike in the parking lot right outside and below our balcony. All I saw was a huge flash and a loving loud bang. Being in India, we all assumed a bomb went off and then didn't bother getting up from the couch.
