I don't know maybe.
Last night, our power went out twice. Luckly, our power never goes out for long. The thunderstorm that caused it wasn't bad, there was just alot of terrible lightning. Lightniing bolts (several) that were very close in fact. Some of the thunder would explode, high pitch, and right after the flash (high pitche+instant thunder signifies that it was on your block, in your yard, etc).
What have your storm expierences been? (bad ones)
