I thought it was a Bob Arnold story from Zapped, but apparently not. MC is a Ham Radio operator, who is involved with a group that tracks weather phenomenon. S/He goes to an older drive-in theater just prior to a major storm where the storm wreaks havoc on the theater with several pieces of the large screen are torn loose.
That's about all I can remember of the story. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have not read it
I'm pretty sure I would remember it if I had. Sorry.

It is Zapped by Bob Arnold it is in chapter 4
That's It
Thanks. It's not quite the way I remembered it, but I guess the mind plays tricks after several years. I had thought it was a stand-alone story.

Did a Google search on this story and bits and pieces are scattered all over the web. Many of the web sites are no longer existing. Tried tracking some of them and found even Storysite.org although still up is not working correctly. I like to look at the last chapter to see if I'm wasting my time reading an incomplete story and chapter 20 reverts back to chapter 16. Unless one may be satisfied with partial stories probably ought to skip this one unless a complete story line is found.

I have 22 parts of the story on my hard drive. In the "Epilogue" of part 22, Bob states the following:
/With a fair degree of sadness I must announce that what you?ve just
read is probably the last chapter of Zapped! for the foreseeable
future. The biggest question (WHY?) is the one I?ll attempt to
answer here. /
/For the past 5 chapters or so I?ve been trying to figure out just
where to take the story. I announced in chapter 17 that I was giving
up on the sci-fi thread I?d started and as a result I had to dump
all of the long range plot that I?d developed. With that gone I?ve
been trying to develop another story line to replace it without much
success. /
/Rather than turn it into a bunch of ?Jen does this and Jen does
that? type storytelling I?ve decided to simply stop at the end of
this chapter. If I ever do develop another plot line, which seems
highly unlikely at the moment, I?ll be able to pick things up from
here and continue. /
/There are other reasons why I?m stopping. The biggest is my health.
I started writing Zapped! in 2001. That?s a little over 5 years ago
according to the dates on my archive copies of the first chapter.
Back then I was working full time and in better health than at
present. Now I?m retired for medical reasons and although I?m not
that much worse than 5 years ago I can tell the difference between
then and now quite easily. /
/Will I ever write again? ? Possibly. I have a few unfinished
stories started and if my health holds up I may get a chance to do
something with them. I also have an idea or two for a mainstream
non-TG novel and if I can maintain my health I may decide to give
one of them a try. /
/To all other authors out there this does NOT mean that Zapped! is
now an ?open? universe. There are only two other authors (Julie O is
one) that I?ve authorized to use Jen Stevens or my other characters
from the series in their stories. They still have permission from
me. Otherwise, any use of my characters in other stories is
forbidden without prior approval from me. /
/Well, that?s all I?ve got to say. I?m not planning on a total
disappearance, just a slow fade into the background. Bye folks??? /

As far as I know there were only 22 Chapters to the story. However Bob did write a another part called The Lost Stories which is posted here on BC. He does not say where they fit in with the main story, they are over 30,000 words long. I have not been able to find any reference to them in the orignal story.
