The upgrade from Fedora 15 to Fedora 16 was about the smoothest yet. Only major problem was the usual issue with nvidia, had to boot in rescue mode, chroot /mnt/sysimage, then use yum to install kmod-nvidia. Still a lot of leftover fc15 rpms to update.

This was protected by a decent UPS, and a whole-house surge protector, so I don’t think lightning was an issue.
