Storms and lightning are the biggest cause of electrical damage
to computer equipment. Most people will disconnect the 240Volt
power, but do not realise that the phone line connection to their
modem (both dial up and ADSL) is a major pathway for high voltage
surges.
Remember : "If there's lightning about, pull the phone line
out"
