Guest Guest Posted May 26, 2010 At Saturday afternoon, it started to rain and not shortly after a thunder hit near our house and I-don't-know-how the electricity produced from the thunder hit our computer and destroyed the computers motherboard. My dad went to the repair man 5 minutes ago to take the repaired computer. I will become active again (I hope).My mom is in Wien so we've stop by to my brothers place to talk with her trough skype, and everything went well. I've grabbed my 5 minutes to create this thread and share this with you guys.I've also been extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemely busy these days so I didn't have time to run to the internet cafe and check my fave site Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myladyyawo 0 Posted May 26, 2010 Wondering where one of the most active members on the site went. I know when we get a bad storm I immediately turn off our computers as it's so easy for them to get wrecked that way. Hopefully your computer can be fixed soon sweetie. You've been missed here. Take care and hopefully things are going well for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kokonee 0 Posted May 26, 2010 When you are having a Thundershower; don't just turn off the computer, unplug it! (as well as things like phone answering machines and TVs). Lighting can actually travel down the power-lines and fry any electrical apparatus which is attached (plugged in). Hope you get your computer back up and running!

Kiki Lolo 0 Posted May 27, 2010 Sorry to hear about your comp!I unplug EVERYTHING in the house during storms. This could be at 3am or 3pm, i will walk around the whole house unplugging tv's,dvd,stereos, plugged in cell phones, computers, modems and telephone lines. I've lost (to date)....one fax machine, one computer, two stereos and a tv. The t.v one wasn't my fault...lightening went through the antena...go figure!I lost my fax machine cause i forgot about the telephone wire and...aparently the lightening "jumped" to the stereo that WAS unplugged next to it. We have "lightening balls" sometimes. I hear about an occurance on the island about once or twice every few years. They are not fun. My husband has seen them on two occasions. They are literally balls of lightening bigger than tennis balls and sometimes they are the size of soccer balls that "float" or "wiggle" around the room for a minute, destroying electrical stuff that it touches. I guess it could burn you too...but its not happenend to anyone here.So..Lazar....UNPLUG EVERYTHING IN THE HOUSE!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
