Last weekend, severe thunderstorms hit the Houston area. Lightning struck a tree in my backyard, melted a clothesline to a nub, and nearly set my house on fire.
I was without air conditioning for two days, without cable for three days, and without Internet for a whole week. I stayed with my aunt and uncle for the two days that I was without air conditioning. Since my cell phone has Internet capabilities, I had to use it to check my e-mail (I will probably have usage charges out the wazoo come next phone bill). And thanks to rather laid-back Internet usage policies at work, I replied to said e-mails using my computer there.
