Lightning strike !!!
« on: October 17, 2011, 07:35:53 PM »
Had a little storm blow over my house last Friday afternoon about 4 pm...wind and rain...not a lot of lightning but I took a bolt right in my front yard about 25 feet from my house....so close I heard the lightning snap right before the thunder...made the hair on the back of my neck stand up  cfzd

Tripped both GFCI breakers in my kitchen...blew out a DVD player in my living room...took out my hidden fence for my dog...TVs in my kids rooms have a greenish tint on the screen now...blew the main cable box taking out my internet and home phone......

Finally back online ;D

Fishing, with me, has always been an excuse to drink in the daytime.

Glad everyone is safe over there Kenny. Electronics can always be replaced, seems like a good excuse to upgrade. ;D <'((((><

Sorry to hear kenny. Thank god no one got hurt. Look into a whole house surge protector realatively inexpensive compared to replacing electronics if it happens again

Its better to sit in a boat and think about God, than to sit in a church and think about fishing.
