Just went through this lightning strike thing.

Hit a big oak tree in the yard, found a way into the house via a buried electrical line that goes to the well house, and also came in through the DTV dish.

Several circuit breakers were tripped, the sat dish LNB, power supply, and sat receiver were hit. It actually burned the end off of the coax going into the sat receiver.

Traveled through and killed a 4x4 matrix, and out to one of the TV's where it took out the HDMI board, yet didn't bother the three other TV's at all, nor the BluRay.

Charging base for one of many MX 980's was done in, while the others were fine.

Little alarm clock fried, but a tabletop URC dimmer sitting inches away was not.




It's just strange what happens, and what doesn't, during a lightning strike.
