Nobody's scared of a pitchfork anymore. What about a nuclear powered electric pitchfork with an added missile launcher plus ammo?

Lightning discharges has the potential to overload and fry the circuits in a TV. This is what surge protectors are for with computers, and even then it's recommended to turn your computer off during thunderstorms, although I never follow that advice.

I never turn my PC off during thunderstorms The socket it's plugged into has a stuff which protects it from power variations in case of something weird

I don't turn off my computer during thunderstorms either. Fortunately it's a Laptop with surge-protection, so I needn't worry.

Our TVs (well, at least the downstairs one) was hooked into a surge protector. And so is the computer, but if we think it's gonna be a bad storm, we'll turn off the computer, just in case. It's better for it to be turned off manually, than suddenly when the power goes out.

Gesh, another storm, a regular down-pour again This time with lightning bolts included. It really scared me! It sounded like two explosions in the parking lot. I hate storms.

Don't suppose whenever there's a storm at your place and it's quiet at mine we could always do a little swap? You don't like storms and I do, perfect trade off!

You don't like storms and I do, perfect trade off! it would be a little complicated considering the time it would take us both to travel by plane If you want to I can record the next storm

That's actually something I could live with as long as it's not too cold. Better than an eternal tropical summer
