I use everything as per normal, the storms are not as bad in Singapore
I have seen people unplug everything :s I just keep it all running and dont care what happens. :Ocass14
Normally, we just turn of the computer not the TV or anything else. But like if it's unexpected then, of course no.

Uh-huh, you should really switch off your computer when there's thunder and lightning. I remember in the news something about a kid getting struck by lightning while on his computer, his whole roof blew off. I think it was in Dorset or something, but it did happen and I think the kid survived too... Just don't risk it really.
