Lightbulb Power surge strips don't always work right.

I lost a whole computer during a tornado warning. I shut it off...the surge came the next day, when I turned it back on, it burned out the power pak.

Now we have APC surge protector...it is MUCH better.

(and BTW we have no water today AGAIN... this is the 4th time in 3 wks.)
not fun.

We lost everything on that burn out...the harddrive was not retrievable!
