I have a whole house surge protector on my external electric panel outside. It still won't protect against lightning strikes against the AT&t internet phone line. I'm working on getting a whole home search protector for the inner panel too.
lightning storm
listening to my new Maria Callas vinyl last night and a huge thunderstorm/lightning storm starts up. About 2,3 seconds before each boom, I was getting a lot of static through my speakers. EMI from the lightning? I have no idea so asking the group. Thanks. Smart ass answers accepted also :-)
