Colorado Springs has one of the highest incidents of lightening activity in the U.S. Many homeowners and renters don’t realize that lightning strikes on a building, or your home, can cause permanent damage to anything in the home connected to a power source.
Most people have their TVs and computers plugged into a surge strip which is a good first step, however, a direct hit from a lightning bolt could be too much for that surge device to handle. What about the rest of your home and appliances? Your refrigerator, stove, washer and dryer? A significant surge can damage anything in your home that is connected to your electrical system.
