Golly Jon,
Don't you kill the power strip at the first rumble of thunder?  Maybe I'm one of the few who doesn't leave things on standby overnight, or when I leave the house.

Since I don't have power back-up, I'm goosey about thunder.  Every time the lights blink, I'm facing three or four minutes waiting while the computer checks itself - grumble.  Easier to shut down, go to the window,  look for rain,  and wait... and wait.
Life in northeastern Oklahoma.
