 As crazy as Arkansas weather has been lately, nothing surprises me.

 I have a UPS device, but as noted, no amount of surge protection will
stop damage from a lightning hit...which could cause a fire.

 And, having been struck twice by lightning (indirectly, but I still got
the shock, and have nervous system damage as a result), I don't want the
third time to be "the charm".
