Do you turn off your computer in a storm?

[Thomasss]

Any of you guys turn your computer off during a storm?

For me, I do. It was getting pretty windy here so I just turned off my desktop and unplugged it just to be safe, but I know many people do not even bother. Do you unplug your stuff during a storm?

No. But then again, we don't even have storms like that. Haha.

That must be nice. xD We get storms a lot here, kinda sucks.

I bet it does. I'm glad we don't really have them here. And even if we do, it's not like a major storm.

Oh that's good. I've been caught up in snow storms and my computer crashed once, never taking that chance again. xD

Then it's completely understandable that you do turn it off.

I have a surge proof power strip that I plug my expensive electronics into. And no, I don't. We generally don't get horrible storms in Georgia.

I could easily just turn off my 5-6 in 1 power strip then turn it on later. Although sometimes I accidentally turn it off and my phone dies which suck.
