During storm we can often see thunderbolts. Thunderbolts can be dangerous if they strike home. After strike, some electric devices can get burned and cause fire into house. From those reasons, many people cut off device from power source to lower chance of damage?

It would be a wise thing to do to have a proper protection system installed at home such as earth mesh. This saves us from the lightening to almost 80 percent.
