From Kaykay

[CountryHaven]

I just got a call from Kay. She didn't want anyone to think she was ignoring them but she had a severe lightening strike at her farm last night and all her computers/tvs/answering machines etc are fried. Everyone is okay and the horses are fine though

OMG, I am so glad everything is OK.

Hi Everyone,

Since Kay's computer is down, please email me, or any of the other BOD, if you need information from CMHR. My email is [email protected]

If you have membership questions, please contact our treasurer at [email protected] and she will help where she can.

Thank you all for your understanding.

I spoke with her a little while ago.

Did get a laugh or two out of her!

Working on repairs, but she works this evening.

Mine got fried too! The 3rd time in 2 yrs! Isn't there anything one can buy to protect the computer at least?

Hi Dimimore,

Do you have a power surge protector? We bought one for the computer, printer, etc. to plug into and have never had any problems due to lightning

well i hate to tell you but mine had a 200.00 surge protctor on it. problem is thelightning hit went thru the phone cord!! both computrs have fried modems due to thhe phone line. I guess when there is a storm all of us on dial up should unplug th phone line. Ive been on the net forever and never had this happen!

Yep, I had that happen last year. I never let my computer on when I'm not around anymore, and never go online during a storm. I used to all the time. All I had to do was replace the modem though. The computer itself was okay. Hope that's all you need to do too.
