Should I shut off my computer
 

Lots of lightning outside.... should I shut it off or just continue coding

Continue coding and save everything every 5 minutes...

if you're running Windoze I wouldn't shut it off... you know, never touch a running system... next time it might not boot up again!

It's been raining here in FL for the past two weeks straight :(

:Graucho

Funny you should mention it. I just had a computer get fried from all the storms here in FL last week. It was plugged into a UPS which protects it from that stuff. It turns out, the thing got fried through the phone line. The damn modem hasn't been used since I don't know when, but I never disconnected it. Oh, well....

wow, that sucks, I didnt disconnect and im still here.

always left mine on, never no problems ;)
