Hello, Unusual electrical storms here on top of hill on Sunday evening (9/11). On Saturday, the roofing contractor finished putting half of metal roof on house. Received lightning strike to roof (I think), but saw flash onto front walkway. Heard explosion right at my wall. Couldn't find point of hit though. Roof was finished Monday.
Is that new metal roof a target for the next storm? Never had a lightning strike near here before this. For the curious: Damage was everything connected to my LAN ... Apple MBPro, Mac Mini, MacPro I/O, router, hub, soundcard connected to K3 on old Windows PC. The K3 ant and power were disconnected (but two audio cables from old PC were connected to K3): my K3 is shot and on its way to Elecraft. A Comcast TV box was shot, and the tel and Internet all needed reset from Comcast. Still finding problems ... Limping along with old Win-2000 PC. Cheers, Alan Alan D.
