YES YES YES!!!! Our power pole wires got whipped into neighbors tree branches. The power surged into the phone line that had been grounded to a the house. Not sure why it did that but it fried the phones went into the ground to the line 30 feet away, and into the house.The wires in the ground were burned.
Our RV was plugged into the house. It fried the microwave in the RV. The microwave in the house. The TV in the RV and 2 tv's in the house. I forget how many phones it took out.
I unplug everything when it storms. Don't trust that a surge protector would really protect.
And don't even think the insurance company is going to do a thing.We were told to take each item to a repair place to see if it was fixable. To do that each repair place wanted $ to evaluate the item,but the insurance co. would not reimburse you for that $ only the cost of the item. I am not sure why we have insurance agents. They wanted us to do their job. Oh my end of rant!
