one was fried. So I was going to try to configure
us, like a "flash-bang" grenade.
We only realized what happened after the fact when we regained our senses.

My most exciting (and odd) lightning encounter was in a 30 ft. sail boat
returning from the Destin inlet. A storm came up suddenly so we motored under
full power into the wind (under bare poles). The rain was so dense we could
not even see the bow so we steered by compass. The flash and bang w

Lightning surges can come through _any_ wire into a device. You might not think

Was sitting at my desk At the computer yesterday during a thunderwhumper that
was rolling through. Got a big ZAP right there, thought I had been hit by

13 matches
