Thanks for playing.   In certain parts of the US, the ground contains high levels of copper. When lightning hits those areas it heats the ground hot enough to melt the fiber.

In the last few years, I've lost thousands of dollars of electronics to lightning strikes. I also lost a heat pump. First it was a heat pump. The electronic parts inside the house went up in smoke.

I recall posts where android boxes were discussed and I think at the time you said your down load speed was too slow. Well now you certainly could support one.........The answer to your prayers.....(

This is supposed to keep up all week...........

At this rate the Bangkokians will be flooding down here again.

 

You did the right thing sheltering........

As for your attractiveness to mother nature Jacko.........This guy trumps you.

 

 

"A Croatian motorbiker will be praying that the old adage ‘lightning never strikes twice’ rings true.

Unlucky Ante Djindjic, 29, from Zagreb was knocked unconscious when lightning struck his penis during a quick roadside toilet break.

Djindjic said: “I don’t remember what happened. One minute I was taking a leak and the next thing I knew I was in hospital.

“Doctors said the lightning went through my body and because I was wearing rubber boots it earthed itself through my penis.”

Djindjic escaped relatively unscathed from the incident, suffering only light burns to his chest and arms.

He said: “Thankfully, the doctors said that there would be no lasting effects, and my penis will function normally eventually.”

 

Comparatively your burnt-out TV seems like a let-off

He must be the unluckiest guy in the world....

 

That would be a good one for a "Mythbusters" episode to demonstrate!!!
