Do you unplug your computer, tv, vcr/dvd recorder, & stereo when it storms?





I do, a few years ago lightening knocked out our tv & vcr. We just had a bad storm here around 1:30 pm and I was rushing around unpluging everything and wondered if anyone else does this.

Yes. I also don't use the tub or shower during electrical storms.

What are "storms?" :confused:

- Fleet
(With less than 3.5" of rain in the last 9 and 1/2 months.)

No, because they are all plugged into surge protectors. And nothing has happened.

I did have a TV/VCR combo that got fried crispy one year, but that was just plugged straight into the wall.

Just my computer.

I am glad the person who PMed me and said not to reply to vintage threads if he posted in it DID NOT POST IN THIS THREAD as I really wanted to add a reply :)

We had an overnight storm and we even got thunder and lightning which doesn't happen too often.
