would you stop mlotting if.....

Not really.... I'm just too addicted to mylot to turn off the PC. I don't think i'll even notice the storm in the first place. Its just an amazing experience here in mylot

i have just come indoors and turned on my pc because it looks like rain on my end due to the lightning and thunder that have just started. initially, i planned on staying in the rain to get wet and have an early evening shower afterwards but i'm not comfortable with all those lightning flashes. so here i am logged on to mylot for a few minutes... just started doing the internet amidst the thunder and lightning. we turned off the tv though.

I have been online during thunderstorms.I don't understand what the big deal is.

Well yes.I can leave it on. I don't have an antenna on the roof. When you have a antenna, you are better off to turn it off. It can be dangerous. I once saw lighting come out of a Television. That was scary. The TV was no longer usable. The light went right past me. If there is an antenna on the roof or on a pole. Turn it off until the thunder and lightning is gone. Better.

I do not stop but i know it's not the smartest thing to do. I have never been afriad of storms like i should be. I'm sure one of these days i'll get blown away not worrying that it's stoeming.

Actually the other night I had that happen and I did keep mylotting durring a big bad storm. I didn't care. I love being here! Silly right!

Hello bro.. our friends are right about the antenna thing being on top of the roof. If it is there, it's best to turn off everything electric. As for myself, mine's pretty alright and should I be at home and happens to be mylotting, I would just on the laptop and continue and nothing happens. Hopefully, and up till now, I'm thankful for that. I'm particular about using the phone though because I felt the static went through at one point. So I was thinking about the laptop whether it's best to keep on the power while doing mylotting. Here's a solution: If your battery can last long, use it during those stormy days, LOL.. I am saving up to buy a laptop that can withstand 2-3 hours of battery life. That will be cool and awesome.;)

We lost a hard drive to lightening and now at the first sound of thunder, no matter how faint we turn all power off. It was an expensive lesson learned.

I will probably turn off my computer,or even my cell phone.lol Thunders and lightning make me scared.I will stay away from the my closed window and enjoy some reading in that kind of condition.

Honestly, I am afraid of lightning and thunder but it won't stop me from doing my thing, which is mylotting.. i love mylot.. i can't let the day pass by without visiting one of my favorite websites.. =)

If it was only thundering...no I would not stop... it if was thundering and lightning but off a distance, no I would not stop mylotting, but if the winds kicked up and it seemed like a bad storm was heading my way... I might then consider turning of my computer....LOL Like you I am very addicted to mylot and my kids watch tv during the rainy days and I get to be on here since I am still in the same room with them... however if the weather seemed to turn severe then yes, I would turn off my computer. Happy mylotting!!!

I actually have turned off my pc because of a thunder storm popping up in the area. This happened a few weeks ago. I could hear it in the distance, so I powered down, and unplugged the surge protester just in case. Turned out to be a pretty wimpy storm. There was a ton of rain, and a hour later, I ended up turning the computer back on. If it were to happen today though, I'd probably procrastinate and say "alright, 5 more posts, then I'll call it a day/night." depending on how bad the storms are this season, I may break down and get a cheap laptop(like, $60 refurbished on eBay cheap), and use it as a netbook.

I don't think thunder and lightning are gonna stop me at all too dude... It's been a rainy days also here, but i don't see any problems with my computer... Not yet maybe... Man, i don't want anything bad happen with my beloved PC.

Yes, as much as I love MyLot I would shut the computer off if it got too bad. If lightning strikes and blows up my computer then I wont be able to MyLot for a while anyway....whats the point in that??

If it was a severe electrical storm and I didn't have surge protectors in place then I think I would end up logging out and turning my PC off until the storm eased a little. I wouldn't be happy about it mind you, but it's probably the wisest thing to do.

Hi there! You see if the thunder and storm is not hampering my computer and net is working fine, I would like to continue mylotting. You see it is always a great fun working here and you can enjoy participating in so many interesting discussions that you do not feel like stopping, once you are on the move. Good Post!

It depends on. If the thunder is not so serious, I will still let my computer on. Otherwise I may shut it down in case of any accidents. I love China

I probably would. Thunder and lightening is kind of rare here but its due any time in the next week I think and I get really frightened. As well as the computer itself being here, I'm right by a radiator when at my computer and you shouldn't stand/ sit near them in a storm either. So I think I would definitely turn my PC off and stop mylotting!

I still myloting, and my computer reseting after thunder touch my electricity. I am shocked, that is not burn my PC. What makes me confuse is only my MCB (Minature Circuit Breaker) has been damage. It miracle ever come to me, and not just once. Right here is better place to talk and resolving any problem. Have a great day...

I've got the worst case scenario: So I'm addicted to mylot but I've got a Nokia N800. I can take it everywhere! Just can't stop!
