FIGMO's Follies

That the *most* common consequence you listed doesn't bother me as much. I'm afraid of the dark, but I have candles up the wazoo, and a flashlight in my purse, so the power going out isn't a huge threat to me.

I can't say as I've ever worried the house would be struck, because I've never lived in a structure that was the tallest thing around.

And, like most dangerous things in nature, it's beautiful.

So it's hard not to admire Somebody's handiwork.
