Lightening talks
Posted by Janet
On Saturday at about the same time the lightening talks were going on at the Open Video Conference, I came home and had my own lightening dialog.
It struck about 400m from my house, tearing up the road.
It traveled through the ground and found the phone lines, blowing off the front cover and frying the wires on all the boxes along the road.
When it got to my house, it scorched the wall and box where it connects to the house phone lines.
It passed along the line, to the router, taking that out for good.
It even went from the router and damaged the ethernet port of the pc that was connected.
Lesson learned: unplug when the lightening comes.
