Paul D Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Had a close shave with lightning last night. Playstation, Telephone, Network router, 2 PC network cards and video sender all copped it when a lightning bolt decided to hit something too close for comfort. ( That close that the smoke alarm went off ... due to the ionised air I presume ! ). Still, the boat and house are OK Still have one networked PC and the ADSL modem is still working so web site can still be updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Glad the family is OK Paul Just seem to be below the PC, Website, Boat and House on the OK priority List Will call you about Sunday Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted August 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Found the cause of the problem this morning. Evidently my next door neighbours TV aerial was literally blown apart and his Freeview box was molten inside. His Computer is trashed and his VCR and DVD player were burnt.... Bit close for comfort but could have been worst - could have been the boat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob F Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Wow!! (Catching up on old posts) That must've been a shocker. Happy to hear there were no personal injuries. Is that why your hair was a bit fuzzy and upright on Thurs?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
