Looks like South Tyneside has just been cut-off from power, can see the area from mine, lightening struck and it went dead
Its like having a strobe-light outside my window........................think ill start knocking some shapes out!!!!!!!!!
On a serious note, you should turn your computers off when its thundering and lightning cos the power surges can blow it up. And I dont mean in a puff of smoke, but it will knack it
