Thunderstorm

Rising thunderstorm
Sudden rain slamming my roof
Passing overhead.

Sharp lightning flashes
Interrupt work on the screen
Computer goes blank.

Distant thunderclap
Computer is rebooting
Nothing I wrote lost.

Hello Milton Hankins, thunder storms are strange, sometimes the power goes out and sometimes not. Enjoy your day my friend.

Hello L. Milton Hankins, yes in a thunder storm it is best to unplug the appliances. Also wait to take a shower. You are welcome. Enjoy your day my friend. Merry Christmas.

That's true, Darlene. Here along the Ohio River we have what I call river storms, sudden, violent, and fast-moving. They seem to follow the river. If ones think about it in time, it's always good to unplug the major electrical appliances. Thanks for your comment. I appreciated it.
