In the 1980s as a college student in Daytona Bch, whenever I was home during a lightning filled thunderstorm, I would unplug everything electronic. My beautiful 19in COLOR tv was still fried. I brought it in for service and learned the surge came through the cable coax. I guess I was fortunate the picture tube didn’t explode.
The tv was less than 30 days old so they gave me a new one. I’m sure they didn’t have to do that, but they probably felt sorry for this poor 19yo student. TV, as in television, addiction is a horrible thing.
