Detailed explanation-1: -While surge protectors offer protection for normal surges and nearby lightning strikes, nothing will protect your equipment from a direct lighting hit. During storms, you can add further protection by unplugging your computer power supply and any telephone and/or Internet connection lines.

Detailed explanation-2: -Avoid water. Do NOT bathe, shower, wash dishes, or have any other contact with water during a thunderstorm because lightning can travel through a building’s plumbing. Don’t touch electronic equipment. Avoid windows, doors, porches, and concrete. Don’t use corded phones.
