So last night, there were some thunderstorms that went through my state (I think there was even a tornado somewhere). Why I was completely fine typing on my laptop, kind of watching a movie with my mom, step-dad, and friend. So our satelite was going out when were heard a "pop". Me and my mom both look at the desktop and I swear we both about s*** ourselves. I jumped up, saw the laptop power light was fading off, and ran over. My mom was all "Did you just blow up my desktop? D<" But its power light came back on and I was able to power it off. I will forever love surge protectors X3
