Both my friend and I have computers and we experienced the same problem during a thunderstorm early this morning. Our computer generally stays on all of the time but because the electric went out for a few minutes then the systems cut off. This morning when I tried to reboot then the power did not come on. Unplugged electrical outlet and finally on my power strip I changed the outlet and the system came on. However, my friend has tried the same concepts and no power. Can anyone help us out? Is there something I'm not trying?

ONe thing I won't do when Thunderstorm is approaching or at hand, is leave any wanted electrical plugged in.. (Like TV/VCR/DVD/COMPUTER! 
Just a thought of 27,000 K-Volts is enough to bypass most if not all basic surge protectors.. You had that atleast..right?
