That was quite possibly the heftiest thunderstorm I've experienced so far this year. The walls of the 3-story building we live in actually shook twice, and the lightning was so close that I barely had time to register the blink before the booms of thunder started. I actually though the lightning struck one of the neighbouring buildings at one time..
But, all is good, and the games are back up. As I said, I saved the games just before clicking exit, so there should not be any loss of gameplay for anyone.

The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism.

I think Thor finds that the global warming makes him frisky. He's probably looking to impress some nice Viking babes.

The good news is that if we DO get a strike that we should have a significant period of continuous up time afterwards. No battery needed!

LOL, BGN. :D
All games are back up. I saved before shutting down, so no loss of gameplay this time either.
The forecast warns of more thunderstorms this weekend, so be aware that I may have to take the games down on short notice for the next days. I will, as always, post here if I take them down, and when they get back up if I need to take them down.

Makes me glad I live in Perth, where thunderstorms are rather rare.

Here in Southern California, we get a real thunderstorm once every ten years.
