big storm advice?

Okay, there is a huge storm kinda coming/here/soon-to-be here and its really ***ing windy and raining and such. Its already caused the power to go out twice for a few hours each time. Huge trees are falling everywhere, and it doesn' t help i live right on the edge of a ***ing forest. [:' (]

..Anyway. Whats the likelyhood of doing damage to my computer if i keep it on and use it if the power keeps cutting out. I don' t want to risk my baby. *clings to her compy*

Advice plz?

Ideally you would have hooked up to a surge protector. Otherwise, if the storm is serious you might be best to shut down and unplug.

Yeah i have no idea what a surge protector is so.. i.. well gah damnit. I told Demonoroth i' d be here when he woke up. Stupid storm.

You should really think about purchasing a battery back-up of some sort.

You could get one for like $40 and it' ll save you hundreds of dollars and possibly hours of work (hard drives don' t like it when you suddenly cut power.)

Of course that probably won' t help you for the coming storm...best bet, shutdown and wait it out.

Or use someone else' s computer

Or use someone else' s computer

only other computer i' d use is my sisters/step sisters which my younger sister fucks to all hell anyway. Seriously, in a year or so, shes fried three fucking computers. THREE. Had to buy new powerboard thingies or whatever for them, or just corrupted them to hell, getting viruses and trying to cover them up by looking for them to delete them and deleting system files. : /
But hey, i' ll probably somehow manage to infect and kill the whole internet with it.
And no, i don' t wants to kill the internets for the whole world

The storm seems to have settled a bit anyway. If it starts getting bad again i' ll shut down and wait it out.


Hahaha i looked out the window and a tree fell on my clothesline and broke it. Can' t hang out the washing now! Sucker!

Go lay on the beach. Naked.

go and die in a hole

but really, no.


very few people ever have or will see my naked body.
certainly not a beach full of people.

Y' mean all Aussies aren' t exhibitionist?

As i' ve said many times. I' m not like most aussies/females. XD
i don' t go out and flaunt myself, persae. I prefer to stay home and sit on my computer talking on forums, or gaming.

though i did used to surf. xD

Work yourself as well gets you here twice as fast.

Instead of complaining about it use that time to find a job.

Wait, so how many Aussies are there on Kikizo now? I' m one, I know Terrak is another (though he seems to have disappeared).

Oh and definitely get some sort of surge protector or UPS. We had a tree come down in our street and it caused a lengthy brown-out in our home. I' m not sure how or why, but it completely fried my router. Fortunately my new PC was fine.

yeappp im from Melbourne. ^__^

and its all $$ which is something i' m in a rather short supply of right now.

I like Aussies. But i don' t like Neighbours.

hahaha yeah well.. its not the best tv series of ours.

I have friends that have been hooked for years. I just don' t get it. It' s... boring. Same thing with Home and Away.

Ada Nicodemou was hot though so i can' t say i haven' t watched it...

I wouldn' t chance it. Better to be without a PC for a couple days, and then have it back than take a chance at frying your box.

When big storms come through I tend to unplug all my stuff (regardless of having a surge protector), then I go outside. I like taking on the elements first hand. I' ve sat outside with tornadoes less than a mile away just to watch when I lived in Minnesota (had trees and sh*t go through my house when I lived there).

Here in Florida if there' s a hurricane you can find me at the beach fighting the waves. No surf board or anything, man vs. nature is the only way to go. There hasn' t been a hurricane in forever though. So much for Al Gore' s worst hurricane seasons ever because of global warming theory. F*ckin' tool.

I love " bad" weather. It was absolutely " awful" on Saturday. I walked out of the department store after picking up some new clothes, and the rain was coming down sideways. Everyone else has their bags over their heads flocking to their cars. I' m just strolling through the parking lot.

I love sideways rain. It was either sophomore of junior year of cross country we had a hurricane hitting Jacksonville and my coach thought it would be a perfect day to have practice... on a Saturday. So we all showed up at 7:45am to do 400m sprints around the track against 75mph+ winds. Going along the back stretch the wind was behind us so we hauled ass. The finishing stretch... good God. It was a wall of water. Coach just kept yelling " Why the hell are you slowing down?!" . That was one of the best practices ever.

I LOVE storms... I did a little Hurricane chasing one year and almost got killed so I' ll never do that again! At least I think I won' t, lol..

If I had my way it would rain 4 days a week, every week. But it would be magical rain that doesn' t cause severe flooding.

I' d love to go tornado chasing at some point in my life.

yeah well storms scare me
I don' t even know why, i get so scared i hide under things. I know technically it wouldn' t save me at all, but blargh, they really frighten me.

best place to be in a lightning storm is in a car (assuming you haven' t parked under a tree or other similar object) the metal shell of the car acts as a faraday cage so protects from a strike.

That' s odd, I heard that standing under a tree is the best place to be during a lightning storm.

Trees are fine because the tree will take the blast. Now if you are standing in an open field you' re much more f*cked.

That' s funny cause I also heard that standing in the middle of a golf course with a nine iron in hand is another great place to be during a lightning storm!

The guy that originally did that got his zipper fused together. They had to cut him out of his pants to treat his burns.
