Do You type that by hand or is that in a file You use?

I'm curious because I've seen You write about thunderstorms before and
what You do to keep things safe at home.

I remember a saying that goes like this:

If You hear Thunder You don't have anything to worry about.

If You see the Lightning and hear the Thunder You don't have anything
to worry about.

If You see the Lightning and don't hear the Thunder You might have a
lot to be worried about.
