How do I protect my home electronics during threatening weather?
Unplug Your Computers/Modems/Phones During Threatening Weather.

Springtime starts off another season of electrical storms. Just a reminder
from PRTC to unplug your computers, your modems (if you have an external
modem), your fax machines, VCR's, cable outlets and your phone when the
weather looks threatening outside. A lightning strike to the electrical
lines and/or phone lines leading to either your computer or external modem
can cause serious damage--and even a fire!

An electronic surge protector which includes a built-in phone line protector
is a great idea, but it does not provide a 100% guaranteed protection. Call
or stop by our office today to find out how to prevent lightning from
destroying your valuables.
