We was just sitting in the living room on Friday night when down from the sky came a big bolt of lighting and blew up a transformer on our street. Then everything went all dark. The mom was scrambling around looking for flashlights and candles. We just thought that's funny - we sees fine. It didn't take long for the lights to come back on - but then the mom found out that her modem was fried. She couldn't get on the internet. So we wasn't able to visit our blogging friends and we didn't get to go to Speedy's party. Mom had to wait till Monday morning to get a new modem from the cable company and she just got everything going again. We's had enought of these tunder storms - we can't go on the screened porch because it always gets wet and the sun goes away. We wants SUN! We wants SUN!

Wow, you too? We lost our lectricity a few days ago. At least we didn't get the thunder-boomer and lightning.
It was clear outside an in the middle of the day. We dint really notice anything except that the sparkly box went off suddenly. Mostly, we noticed that it got REAL quiet in the cave.

Hi Midnight, and Stray Kitty,
It's very nice to meetz youz both. We have had some nice thunder boomerz here as well. We didn't lose the lights thoughz.Oh, what part of central flo-ree-dahz are youz in?
Purss..Siamia
Oh gosh.
We do feel your pain!
Fortunately now we have one of those external modems with our new DSL and our laptop. But when we lived in CO we had an old iMac with the internal modem. Mosaic Lady had just walked in the door from work and logged on and dialed up (yes, she had dial up until last May. Can you believe that?) A bolt of lightning crashed down and she saw it strike and IGNITE a tree across the street from us. It also blew out the iMac's internal modem.
It was VERY traumatic, to say the least.
Now we unplug and shut down during every storm!
Our nerves can't take loss of internet access. The DTs hurt.
Thanks for visiting my blog - I like to meet new friends. Aren't you afraid of lightening? I always cuddle up on my Mum's lap and hide my head under her shirt when it thunders and lightenings!
P.S. You made me laugh when you said I could get back at my Mum by going on a hunger strike - did you see my picture? I'm rather, ummmm, fluffy : )
Good to meet you Midnite and Stray Kitty. We hates the lightning and we really, really hates the thunder booming. We hide. Glad to see you are back online and safe and sound.
