Do you turn you computer or certain electrical items off during a storm ? Yes I do, I live in an old building and have no idea if it's protected against a surge in power. Better to be safe than sorry because we can have some amazing lightening around here.
Bonus Question: (in honor of National Convenience Store Day)
Which of the major chain of Convenience Stores can be found in your town ? None.
Which one do you wish you had in your town ? None, I wouldn't shop there, and neither would anyone else, our town is too small to support something like that
Extra Credit Question:

We don't have any pets and I don't have any pictures of past favourites or family member's pets on this computer. I might scan a pic of my favourite childhood pet in the morning. (It's late at night here now)

Do you turn you computer or certain electrical items off during a storm?
I turned off the computer if it's going to be more than a quick storm that won't get too close to us. However, if it starts getting too close, I shut down until it passes.

It was the best of questions. It was the worst of questions. But it is--- Today's Question(s):
Do you turn you computer or certain electrical items off during a storm ?
I lost a portable PA system during a storm once. It was in a trailer, not turned on. In fact it was in a shipping crate. I've decided why bother turning anything off.

Which of the major chain of Convenience Stores can be found in your town ?
Chains have never been convenient. They are either too short or they get tangled. I buy my chains at Home Depot.
Which one do you wish you had in your town ?
I guess some gold chain would be nice, if the price is right. It's not much good for pulling vehicles out of a ditch.
