What do you do when a Thunder Storm

[Gonzosc1]

Comes your way?

Do you shut down your computer?

unplug the puter, then I grab my electic guitar, my steeltoe work boots and go on the roof and jam while I'm leaning up agaist the tv antenna.

[SoKlueles]

I take my chances I guess and keep everything plugged in. For those with surge protectors, don`t they have warranties on those things? Some have $40,000 worth of electronic equipment coverage if it does`nt work. It may not cover lightning, not sure.

 

[Bebe Girl]

I hide under the covers!

my parents have house insurance so I sit on here the whole time,if it gets hit meh insurance will buy me a new one

it covers surges, and if u read the fine print, it does NOT cover direct lightening hits. The guy from the electric company told me that the ones they sell will stop lightening, but i dont know, i dont think much can stop lightening

Yes...but a heavy dew shuts me down

No shit, who gets hit by lighting,? I lived in missouri for 14 years, some of the nastiest weather in the states, and my house has never taken a direct hit, nor have I ever shut my pc down during a storm. I’m 25 years old and I’ve never met or heard of anyone’s home taking a direct hit and blowing their pc.. "SURGE" protector or surge suppressors gaurd your pc from spikes…maybe I’m just lucky and they work for me i dont know

I love people like you------ thats the reason i drive a vette, Next year i'm shopping for a Lambo!

SoKluless hit it on the head,nothing man made will stop a direct hit in access of millions of volts!
Its getting that time of year again, time to drink expensive wine & party!


Whoo Hoo!
