STRIKE & YOU'RE OUT.
You never know where or when lightning will
strike. It's unpredictable. Crashing to earth with a
force that's hard to imagine, lightning also can knock
out cable service and power lines. We're sorry that
this happens from time to time, but unfortunately, it's
beyond our control. Yet, when lightning strikes, you
can predict one thing. That is: the speed with which
we respond to the situation. Not as quick as lightning,
of course. That's impossible. You can be assured,
though, that our maintenance crews are working hard
to restore your cable service — as quickly as possible.
