Interesting reading the last few days. This morning when we couldn't raise my mother in law on the phone we went to check on her. She lives about 10 miles away. We had some thunder yesterday PM but no rain. Been over three weeks of no rain & 100+ F temps. She is OK but the AC pole 150' from her home must have taken a lightening hit. Induced current I assume. The breaker on the "pole pig' wasn't thrown. She lost a garage door opener, a TV, telephone answering machine we know of. She is in a rural area & has dial up internet. When I get the phone back up I'll see if her PC modem is OK. If you missed it last night on Nat Geo channel was an hour long program on lightening. Maybe it will be repeated. You can't be over protective.
