With no Satellite/TV, unstable electricity, weak internet, I got bored quickly... I was thinking what to do... I wanted to go out for a walk but the weather didn't cooperate. I realized living without the things I am accustomed to, life would be less exciting and wouldn't be as easy as it is now. I heart.gif my technological gadgets!


I agree w/ you on that!

@ Latina4evrgp and X: Yeah, I had the same problems... power out a few times and Satellite signal problems for about an hour + Weak portable internet signal... Relating back to the thread of living without technology - it would be so much more boring!!! :sad:

Officials Believe Man Was Struck By Lightning At Christie Pits Park

Wednesday July 9, 2008
CityNews.ca Staff

A man who sought refuge from heavy rain under a tree at a west end park was apparently killed by a lightning strike during Tuesday evening's thunderstorm.

An autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday on the 28-year-old Kitchener man who was found dead under a tree at Christie Pits Park at Bloor and Christie Streets just before 8pm. The victim's name hasn't been released.

A nearby resident said he saw the fatal incident happen.

"I saw lightning hit this tree in front of my house. [At] the base of the tree, there was lying a man. I went to see if he was okay. He was a different colour and his eyes were partly open," Chris Puncher said.

The man was reportedly sitting on the grass reading a book when the dark storm clouds rolled in and he moved to get out of the rain. Police believe he was killed when lightning hit the tree he was standing under.

"The assumption is a lightning strike. We're searching the area under caution," Det. Marcel Chiasson of Toronto Police said.

Experts say 430 lightning strikes hit the city during the storm and the chances of being hit by one of the powerful charges is about one in 300,000. Reports show that lightning kills at least one person a year in Canada.

Last month a man was struck by lightning at a Toronto area golf course and luckily, he survived.
