Well, I guess I was within code with my 30 Amp non-GFI outlet. It was in my garage, next to the power panel. Even if it was a yard away from the “mud sink” we used to wash the dogs’ feet off in before letting them into the house.

We did have loads of surges and power outages in Alaska. We usually were drawing our power in Fairbanks, from the gas-powered generators in Anchorage. Snowfall, ice storms, fires, and wind would cause the occasional outage. God knows how many surges there were, though. I only kept my TV stuff on a surge protected power strip, and computer gear on a UPS.
