Default Learned the hard way

I’m from Maryland. Never had T’storms like these. I learned a lesson now that my PC fried and won’t boot up as normal.
1. Old surge protectors are useless. Buy New Device strips with high Joules rating.
2. Turning off the TV or PC Isn't sufficient. Safer to unplug your TVs. Electronics PCs And plugIn after The storm
3. After my PC ceased Working,. The next SECO bill came with brochure offering whole house surge protection for $5.95 a month. Too little—too late!
4. SECO should have secured the necessary Surge equipment so EVERYONE IS COVERED /PROTECTED from Fire and electronic failures—instead of offering it to you as an ADD-ON!
