HoarfrostHubb Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Not sure that anyone cares, but that storm Weds morning (the one that produced the big hail), had one very close strike to my house, It fried my cable modem and we have been offline for 2 days. Just got it back with a new modem. Second time that has happened here. I hate lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Holy ****...that sucks. And the modem that was fried replaced another modem we fried about 5 years ago when my neighbor's shed was hit. That bolt cost him a flat screen TV, garage door openers, and some other electrical work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it's the modem you are replacing and not the house. We haven't been able to figure out exactly where it hit...A tree? A pole? My house?No scars visible... It could have been up my street a ways and it carried just enough to damage that one item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
