When I got hit by lighting I had a APC protector on my computer and the lighting melted it then got my computer also got all outside lighting A/C and hard wired smoke alarm. You should have seen the transformer for outside lighting it looked like a basketball it duged holes following the roots of a norfork palm 65 ft also got a queen royal palm 20 ft

Yes, I will sew during a storm but I use a surge protector.
