Re: wierd surge damage?

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yep. Had a house once where lightning blew a 4' hole in the roof, took out
almost all the electronics in the house. Wierder still is the alarm panel
did not get fried but some switches were welded shut, some blown open. The
surge followed the ufer in this house and jumped the the neighboring house's
ufer about 6 feet away and blew out his breaker box and stopped there.
