Randall,
The article is excellent!!!! Easy for the lay person to understand without
all the EE stuff thrown in. And does a much better job saying what I was
trying to say. But it is also a lot longer. However, they also say what I
said:
"The most familiar source is probably lightning, though it's actually
one of the
least common causes. When lightning strikes near a power line, whether
it's
underground, in a building or running along poles, the electrical
energy can boost
electrical pressure by millions of volts. This causes an extremely
large power
surge that will overpower almost any surge protector. In a lightning
storm, you
should never rely on your surge protector to save your computer. The best
protection is to unplug your computer."
