In Reply to: Always unplug? ... posted by woober goober on July 24, 2012 at 06:34:23:
Wow. That's amazing. I had a similar, although much less interesting experience. I always unplug everything that I can when there's lightning in the area, for that very reason. Been doing it since forever, 'cause my Dad always did it. Well, on one occasion, I neglected to disconnect the modem line from the computer. Sure enough, lightning struck a tree next door (and ripped off a sizable amount of wood and bark), found the underground phone line and proceeded to take out my modem - ONLY the modem - the rest of the computer still works fine these several years later. Oh, and it found the underground electric service line. Imagine sitting in the bathroom, barefoot, hearing a loud "crack", and having one of the light bulbs burst glass onto the floor. Now I'm sitting in the bathroom, barefoot, in the dark, with broken glass on the floor. Fortunately, anticipating a possible power outage, I had a flashlight with me. Still, it was a little irritating. I believe the word that came out of my mouth was four letters and started with "s".
