Been Around the Block
Short Story:
Lightning strike hit about a foot away from the house - only minor damage. Very happy and luck that I still have a house and no one got hurt.
Longer story:
Girlfriend called me at 3:30 or so yesterday, said the internet was down, garage doors won't open, several breakers in the back of the house were tripped. Me, I think blah blah blah power surge, I'll deal with it when I get home. Get home and Router and garage door openers are toast. A circuit with a GFCI won't reset. Can't figure out what happened. Around 9:15 or so she notices that some pictures are knocked off the wall. One of us mentions it might be lightening. Walk outside the house and notice the strike area and then the area where the ground blew up.
