No way- UNPLUG!! We just had a storm about a month ago and lost every surge protector in our house (7 of them), as well as 3 overhead lights. Lightening struck a transformer that feeds our house and the main problem was not enough power to our house, causing constant surges until they fixed it. They instructed us to shut the "main" power supply off to the entire house, as this is more of a fire hazard than anything else. Thank goodness none of my machines were injured!!
