Question:
We,ve been having thunder and lightening here in N.Ireland?
is it safe to use phone and computer
Answers:
If it is a cordless phone, it is safe to use. If it is not a cordless...get off it! With your computer, you run the risk of a power outage causing electronic components to 'burn' out from any power surge, especially once the power comes back on or in case of a direct hit to your house. A surge protector should work to reduce or even eliminate that risk..but...personally, I don't take the risk.
As for the phone...I've seen what happens when the line is hit by lightning and someone is on it...not pretty.
