Well looks like the volts have gone off definitively now. Been a bit flaky all evening. No call from UK Power networks yet, though.

what is a volts ? ...
The little electrons that run your lights and such.
my volts haven't gone off then ...
Volts is electron 'pressure', Amps is electron flow rate.
Well who's a lucky boy. We're at the end of a rural spur and there was a thunderstorm last night.
You are kidding?
A real thunderstorm? Of the sort we were promised would become hourly events because ClimateChange??
I've only seen one this year and that passed by several miles away.
Well I can't help that, you know. Off went the volts, after which the lights flickered twice as they tried to reset it. It coincided with the storm, which did seem short-lived but did include some extremely heavy rain for about 20 minutes. After which I was asleep.
We had one in Surrey last night - wentb on a fair length of time
Care to cite any reputable source for this claim?
You should start opening your eyes.
and resistance is ? ...
futile
How exciting. My heavily loaded server did go down at one point in the year when the lights went dim for a second.
I might have heard a distant rumble.
far OUT!
resistance to electron flow....simples!
My server was OK as I have a UPS. But I figured I'd shut it all down anyway as I couldn't see anyone going out to fix it during a thunderstorm.
Beat me to it.
Isn't there a radius^4 term somewhere in that?
