Hey Coastie

I know you climb radio towers, so will assume you know a little about lightning. Question: can lightning make the jump via wifi bandwidth to a computer/my lap? It's only about 2 feet at the moment, but if the answer is yes, I probably need to go downstairs away from this router.

No, if lighting strikes your house it's going to find the easiest way to ground. Worst you have to worry about is a fried router.

no. however, it could come through your roof and strike you on the top of your head, travel through your fingers and destroy the computer


lightning travels throught the path of least resistance.

Are you saying there is not a lot of resistance in Assa's head?

[3legged_lab]

So, hows the weather out your way Assa?

[assateague]

Hot and humid. Thunderstorms. 97 yesterday, 94 today, but heat index of 103 both days. Humidity is miserable, but I'll take it over cold any day.

[duckkillerclyde]

We might have hit 65 today.

[assateague]

We'll hit 65 again sometime around September 20th.

[duckkillerclyde]

We'll hit 65 again sometime around September 20th.

what parallel do you line up with?

[assateague]

Good question. Let me check.

38th. But we're at 6' above sea level, 12 miles from the ocean, and 30 miles from the Chesapeake, so it's always humid as all get out. Swamps abound.

im on the 45th but our weather is closer to assa's than yours clyde. you guys got that pacific current thing keeping you steady

[Bufflehead]

talk about humid, i'm on a island that is one to two miles wide. it's freaking miserable here the last few days.

[QH's Paw]

It's supposed to storm later tonight, I hope it holds off. I had plans to go frog gigging tonight.

we'll be carp gigging, it doesn't rain on me.

[Bufflehead]

we just had a bad storm come through. first rain we've had in a couple weeks. usualyin the summer we get afternoon storms 3-4 times a week

[duckkillerclyde]

the sun came out finally here. We usually get rain this time of year but it will be done except for a few days here and there until mid to late october.

WE will get about 5 days sometimes as many as ten a year were we hit 100 sometimes as high as 105 but not too often.

typically upper 70's to mid 80's. 90's for a week is about the extreme. although low 90's are pretty common too.


this is where QH and I live.


You hit the east side of the state and it's a lot hotter like where 3leg lives.

[Flightstopper]

105 down here right now standing in a calechie (sp?) pit

[duckkillerclyde]

caliche

[QH's Paw]

change in the weather. I stepped out on the porch to shoot the bow and this is what I saw.


Maybe I should go get some beer and charcoal before it's gone. Supposed to rain more in the morning and then the sun will be here for a couple days. At least that is what they say.

Thanks, heat must be frying my brain

Ah. The stuff in AZ is red. I was making it up, anyway, but that crap is crazy hard.
