We've had crazy thunderstorms here just about every afternoon for the last month. While I generally like thunderstorms (actually, I really love them), the constant havoc it wreaks on our power grid is starting to get just a tad bit tedious.
I haven't had the lightning kill any of my boxes yet, as all but a couple are on UPS systems, but I *did* have to replace a power supply last night that was starting to get a little flaky on the forums server (it would cause the server to reboot all by itself). It was probably just it's time, but you never know with the sheer amount of lightning we've had lately.
As I speak it's like an artillery barrage outside. The lightning is almost constant and the thunder comes every second or so. If I didn't have a house full of computers, I'd probably find the whole thing a lot more entertaining. ;)
