2 words.... surge protector. or yeah, be sure to unplug#2: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Nov 17, 2012
My sister bought a very expensive surge protector but her computer and a couple of other things got fried anyway from a hit by a bolt of lightening. Needless to say we do not trust surge protectors 100%. We do still use them in case of power surges.#3: Jota (jota) on Nov 17, 2012

Did it help Kristen?#16: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Nov 18, 2012
Yes it did! We got about 5" of flooding inside our home (during Isaac), but most of our stuff was saved. I vacuumed out 26 gallons of water from the carpet, and used a dehumidifier to remove the rest.#17: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Nov 18, 2012
My son created this double post. He got impatient, waiting for my comment to save, because I'm going to let him play a game on my iPad :)#18: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Nov 18, 2012

Also, tvs & computer monitors use electricity even when turned off, so unplugging them whenever they are not in use saves on the electric bill, and the tvs & computer monitors will last longer too.#27: Shrek4fun (Shrek4fun) on Jan 27, 2022 [SPOILER]

Several years ago my sister thought she was safe by just turning everything off. But the lightning walked right in one outlet and fried everything on that line. Now she has strong surge protectors.
