Did your lights go off, even for a short time?

That has happened here, as well, when we have been caught unawares.

Now, we just shutdown the computers, and disconnect them from the 
electricity supply, whenever there is a risk of an electrical storm, 
or strong winds.

So far this year, we have lost one telephone, and one keyboard, due to 
the wonky electricity supply.

The only solution, appears to be a UPS (when we can afford one).
