I don't know about the power lines, but watch out for AIRPORT
RADAR.  That stuff can really ZAP a computer system.  I once
worked in a building on the periphery of the public airport in
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.  If the windows of the top-floor
computer room were open, our old Honeywell minicomputer would
crash everytime the airport radar swung by!!
