BAD IDEA
Should you unplug your electronics during a solar storm?
Yes, unplugging your electronics during a solar storm can prevent damage from electrical surges — if you want to save a pricey gadget.
Solar storms can cause electrical surges capable of frying your electronics through power lines or antennas. Unplugging devices during a big solar storm is a simple, effective way to avoid unexpected toasts. Sure, the odds aren't huge, but if you own anything expensive or essential, it’s a no-brainer to unplug and save yourself the headache later. Just remember to plug them back in once the storm passes, unless you like living in the Dark Ages.
