Our house was hit by lightning in one of these storms so I am now paranoid about that. Blew everything out (clocks, computer, phones, TV, alarm system, sprinkler system--that is how the firefighters thought it travelled into our house--even the door bell & started some electrical fires so fire dept had to come).

We lived in S.F. for the last big eathquake & then to move out here & have all this stuff going on--not doing very well with it.--Suzy
