    My house has been hit by lightning twice here in Florida. Lost many electronics, glad my pins were unplugged. During rainy season, I usually unplug when I know bad storms are headed my way, otherwise they are usually plugged in. Surge protectors do nothing, lightning jumps over them and they do not pay insurance claims, waist of money.

    You're wrong evandickson, my house has been hit twice, glad they were unplugged, lost many other electronics. Not a difficult thing to do, unplug a machine. Have a good friend who just had his house rebuilt because lightning burned it down.
