That sucks 
Hope you didn't lose anything.
We had that kind of weather here as well today. Flickering lights and all. I didn't have my studio pc turned on when it happened though..
Yeah, should be alright. I hadn't actually done anything yet today (I think I'm STILL recovering from heat stroke... or something screwy) and I'm pretty vigilant/militant about saving when I've actually done something worth keeping.
I just get concerned about the strain on the hardware. But the power strip is supposed to be a half decent surge protecting one (something like $10,000 equipment replacement warranty if it fails and something gets fried... but I never sent in the thingie but just knowing that they did that makes me more comfortable) and I bought a rather nice "CoolerMaster" PSU when I built the daw which I think would protect the more critical system components.
It's gotten zapped a few times this way in the past and survived (touch wood) but it still makes me nervous.
Now to boot up in safe mode and whatnot.
Cheers!
