    Lightning Strike

    Big storm 2 nights ago. We took a hit at the pole right outside. It smoked the CATV drop running to the house and the line coming in. 2 of our 4 tvs need degaussing now. That was the only damage that occurred. Except for the poop stains in all of our underwear. That baby was loud and we all jumped like crazy.

    The TVs should be alright after I make me a degaussing coil and run it avvross them. otherwise I will just find working TVs from the garbage and scrap these 2.

    Yea, our back or toe when it falls,, lol The stack is only half as big now, if I'd quit hauling little stuff in.
    Glad to hear there was no more major damage.
