http://stormhighway.com/surge_protec...ction_myth.phpI know everyone probably won't read this but it is very important. I just read the article that kuntry quilter wrote above....and she is absolutely correct. My husband was an electrician, employed by Florida Power and Light Co., prior to retiring. I asked him about it and he said that Surge protectors are fine for little power surges by the Power Co. however, they are no protection at all from Lightning Storms and Strikes. The ONLY sure way to protect your valuable items during a storm, is to "Pull the Plugs from the wall". People have a false security when they trust Surge Protectors.....so please be aware and do check out the site that kuntryquilter shared with us.
