Sounds like you had an exciting storm night/day too!
Any pics or video? I was hoping but didnt have time.

Tripp Lite voltage regulator $85 I believe on amazon for the 650w model. We put them on expensive appliances like the oven and hot water heater (gas but w/pilot and TONS of electronics), computers, TV, and I have one "floating" to use on generator separate. Coupled with a UPS it's great protection for computer.
