This lightning storm was an oddly destructive one. I had what appeared to be a fried PoE injector at a customer's house - the power supply and RB260GS were both OK, but the customer's router had a fried WAN port as well (fiber customer). I'm going to do some testing on the PoE injector to see if that was the problem - it did smell a bit burnt though.
