I've noticed over the last two years that we getting more and more bad thunder storms in Knysna, which lead me to buy a Furman surge protector.
Last night we had a bad storm which felt like it was right above my house, even though I have the Furman my gut told me to unplug my equipment, well it wasn't a matter of seconds after I unplugged my equipment we had a strike and then poof all the lights that were on blew, they gave off a bright spark and then made a weird sound, phew that was a close call, not sure how the Furman would've fairer but I'm glad I didn't find out, the power is still out... now the wait to see what's blown and what's not, praying the tv is fine ray:
This is very strange for Knysna and it's becoming more frequent, this was the third thunderstorm in a row, Wed, Thur and now last night, never had that once in the 14 years I've been living here..
