Do you turn of your computer during a storm?

I leave mine on. It is my link to severe weather. If it is lightening alot then I turn it off. I leave everything else on then.

I don't usually turn the TV off, but I do turn off my computer and unplug the surg protector from the wall. I cut off the internet from the Ethernet also. I don't turn the air off either. I did get hit by lightening here last year. It knocked the power meter off the side of the house and the lightbulbs exploded in the lights in the ceilings. It was awful, the computer was killed, but the tv and everything else was ok.

Yes, I make it off for safety precaution.

If its lightning then it goes off and gets unplugged. Not taking any chances. I don't unplug the TV and such, don't know why. Probably cause nothing major ever happens, and even if it did I really don't care (TV is slowly becoming a fossil in my opinion).

If it's going to be a really bad storm, with a lot of wind, I will usually shut down the computers and sometimes disconnect their power strips from the wall. Even with surge protector power strips, I still am a little leery of my computer getting fried.

That's usually all that I turn off before a storm; sometimes I keep the TV on so I can keep track of the weather. I do make sure to find a flashlight and some candles, though, just in case the power goes out.

I miss storms living out here in the desert. We get absolutely no rain and forget a good summer thunderstorm. But when I have been in storms, I unplug my computer just in case.

In my country, as soon as storms are approaching, the power goes off, and we have to turn off our computers eventually.. So, in now way we can use computers when there are storms... Even tvs and acs need to be switched off...

i wont switch on. cos ma mom wil scold. also if lightning comes then it wil b affected
