When lightning strike.....

We lost our DVD player, Astro satellite dish, thermopot, WIFI router and possibly more gadgets/appliances which we have yet to thoroughly assess.

The rain and lightning were so ferocious yesterday afternoon. This was the first time we've experienced such a mishap. Luckily some of our other more expensive electrical appliances seems to be working fine.

This gets me thinking. Should we start considering getting one of those lightning rods for the roof or should we start buying insurance for losses caused by lightning - is there such an insurance to begin with?

LOL! You just have to cut off the supply to your electrical appliances when the storm strikes.:)

Have a pleasant week ahead!

Unfortunately we were not home at that time. It was in the afternoon and we were both out at work... thankfully, the damage was small... phew..
