Be afraid, very afraid!
Kidding aside, glad things weren't too serious. But really, pay attention to Hurricane warnings this year. |

Crewzin, you brought up a very good point that I believe alot of people aren't aware about. Both cable tv and phone lines are a source for lighting to come through on. Not only does one have to protect the electrical outlets they also have to have the surge protection on the cable and tv. I had my local electrical company put on their protection at the circuit breaker box and I have done it to each room with tv's, stereo's and computers. A must do here in Florida.

I have surge protectors on everything( TV's radio's,ect..). I dont know what happened to the PC, but the scanner, & speakers are on the same protector & they worked fine after the strike. It was the surge through the modem plug that did the damage( I have cable modem, no phone lines).
I have way to much electronics in this house. It would be stupid to not have them. BUT, I cant find the recipts to verify that I bought them new. S I dont have a warranty on them( I never thought about it, but I think I lost them in the Hurricane). I went out & bought all new protectors. I also have a grounding rod on the house, But somehow it struck the pole that sticks out the roof where the power lines go to the breaker box( it's on the outside wall). I just REALLY glad it didnt strike the tree over our house( a Historic Oak, about 45 ft tall, maybe more). |

Glad to hear everything is back to normal.
We don't have any power lines everything is under ground. At least where I live.
