Rick, have you spoken to your power provider? I mean, we're aware of
your history with electronic equipment and some software packages, but
this kind of event is not normal.

On the night of November 13 it seems that our house had a massive power
surge. The victims were (1) my photo computer setup, consisting of a Mac
Mini and two on-line OWC hard drives. A few days later we learned that the
control circuit board and some of the wiring for our house's minisplit
AC/heating system were partially melted (we are now using our hot water
heating system).
We're waiting for a new circuit board and valves for the minisplit system,
and I've been chipping away at the computer problems. The OS on the Mac
needs replacing, and both external drives have media and file system errors
on Disk Utility which are making them flaky.
So, in the midst of other activities, I've been chipping away at the
problem. I'm shifting files from two other external hard drives (which
aren't in daily use) so that I can shift my files off the damaged drives
and reformat them.
Then I'll be able to transfer a bunch of files, reformat the external
drives they were on, transfer files back, and hope that Lightroom
cooperates in getting everything accessible.
Stay tuned.
Rick
