Well folks, at about 8:10 this evening I was online when lightning hit down
the street and I heard a snap at the back of the computer which
disconnected me from the net and then refused to redial - and found out
that I had NOT indeed run the outside phone line through the surge
protector - thought I had. So modem was gone but fortunately neighbor had
an extra 56k and I am back in business now. If I may say so myself this
first storm of 1999 at CASI HQ has some very bassy thunder - whole house is
shaking like an earthquake...

Charlie A. in Pike County PA also reports severe tstorms at 7:45pm.

Now on the snow and wind from NC, my parents in Boomer NC reported snow
starting this afternoon and a couple inches by now - here is a report from
"farther up the mountain":
