Lightning Bummer
One advertising network was releasing offers one by one at snail's pace when suddenly there were lighting, thunder and a heavy downpour. I had already grabbed a few offers when the lightning became more intense. I couldn't make a decision whether to continue refreshing my screen and wait for more offers to pour in or switch off my modem. Suddenly a strong lightning struck followed by a roaring thunder which caused my screen to vibrate momentarily and my streamyx connection was cut off. My heart was pounding with fear and I quickly switched off my modem, disconnect the wire and took a short power nap. When I switched on my modem again (praying hard that it wasn't struck by lightning), thank God it was still working. Phew, what a heart attack it gave me!
