That is bad. When that storm hit us, it was a doozy. Lightning I guess hit
the building and the garage... knocked out both garage door openers,
everyone's U-Verse routers... etc. I lost the router and the BBS computer but
not the Lantronix box that connects them. It was actually neighborhood
wide.... when they finally came to fix my Internet, the guy told me they still
had over 200 active service calls justs in my part of the city.
Nasty stuff.
