When you say they died, do you mean they have to all be replaced? Holy moly, hope your insurance will cover it, if that's the case. Ya' want to come over and watch here?

I've posted this before but if you do have a computer working and can get on the internet you'd be able to watch any or all of the Survivor episodes in the link I've posted.

I watch the "Ponderosa" episodes when someone gets voted off...quite interesting for sure!

Here is a link that might be useful: Watch Survivor episodes here

Ahhh, Flamey, I guess worse things could have happened to you, but this is a real bummer. I hope you get all fixed up very soon.

I'm so sorry to here of all that damage and loss. I hope you will be able to get it all taken care of quickly and recover the $s for replacements without your Home owners insurance rate going up.
Please take a moment to contemplate your electronic and appliance investments protection.
I really have sworn for years to everyone that MONSTER Power Centers are the absolute best surge protectors to get. They have a guaranteed mil $ policy to replace any electrical components equipment and appliances plugged into a registered MONSTER POWER CENTER if toasted by a surge. Granted they are a little more expensive but quality is important. I haven't had any problems or dead electronics with the killer surges we have frequently here. One box went bad and MONSTER replaced it in less than a week. 100% lifetime warranty.

Thanks, ladies, and Patti, I'd be there if I could!

The clock is DOA, toast. But it was only about $20, no biggie, except this is the 2nd time in 2 years it's happened. The TV might be fixable, it blew the capacitor and we'll get one tomorrow and see if that's all that's wrong with it. It's less than 2 years old, too, from a different storm that fried the old TV. A new $10 bulb in a lamp was toasted, also. The receiver and DVD/VCR were plugged into a strip along with a different, larger TV. That TV is fine. The receiver will be replaced no charge. The DVD/VCR player has a blown fuse which has been replaced already and seems to be working fine.

So, if the smaller TV can be fixed, we're only out about $32. Luckily, Woody is an electrical engineer and is good at this kind of thing. It's been a "take it all apart and diagnose it" kind of day!

All this happened to electronics plugged into 4 different outlets in 3 different rooms. JUST like the last time. We have surge protectors on our list for tomorrow, you can bet on that! I wish I could have a surge protector on everything, but that's just not affordable for me right now. The computer is on a UPS, that worked great.

Deborah, I can't watch TV shows on our computer, as I stated, our connection isn't fast enough to make it practical or enjoyable.

The bad thing is, we're leaving for 2 weeks on Wed AM and have to have everything in good working order for our housesitter! Sheesh, more to do, like there wasn't enough already.

Do you know you can have a whole house surge protector hard wired in for about $200?
