Severe Weather Threatens Net Connections
A line of severe thunderstorms continued making its way across the South into Tuesday night as the New Hampshire primary votes were coming in, causing some power and Internet outages. Experts say it's best to shut down high speed broadband modems when lightening passes overhead.
Earlier in the day, the same storms fed by warm weather continued spinning off unusual January tornadoes, killing a man in Arkansas and carrying a cow close to a mile, according to the Associated Press.
