Steam Deck is fine, but a moment of silence for my charger, please.
Had a massive storm come through last night. Made sure to unplug both my Deck and the charger from the power strip because power surges in my area can be nasty. Storm passed, fast forward to this afternoon. Checked my power strip and once I thought it was all good, plugged everything back in. Charged my deck to full battery while playing Ark Survival Ascended (which is a different mistake) and unplugged it again. The second I unplugged it, there was the sound/light from popping electricity and a small fire. put out the fire and unplugged everything. Some of my room outlets no longer work because it blew a breaker. Pretty sure the storm messed up my power strip, and i'm lucky the deck itself didn't experience any issues. RIP to my charger though.
EDIT: Thanks to everyone for the concern!! We've got an electrician on the way to check everything out, but the fire was small and quickly contained and nobody was hurt. Listen to these comments and ALWAYS use a good surge protector. Don't be me!
