Posted: 8/9/2012 1:52:25 PM [Last Edit: 8/9/2012 2:08:56 PM by Subnet] THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT I didn't take the cover off, in pic #4. It blew completely off. Destroyed my brand new coffee maker in the process. Let's see, so far....new well pump, electrician is busy replacing all manner of boxes and receptacles, my DVR and modem are toast, I have some minor fire damage in my garage...the list goes on. Lightning is a bitch.

Posted: 8/9/2012 2:14:20 PM [Last Edit: 8/9/2012 2:18:52 PM by eagle308us] Had the same thing happen 5 years ago. Destroyed the fuse box and every piece of electronics in the house that was plugged in (tv's, water softener, radios, ac unit, etc). Also destroyed the 2 windows in the room the lightning hit. The metal frames in the windows exploded. I tend to unplug everything I can during a thunderstorm from now on. Insurance companies suck when you want something from them.

Posted: 8/9/2012 2:16:21 PM Dang! We had it hit once but all it did was knock out a few electronics and blew a hole in our heating element in the oven. We saw smoke coming from the kitchen after we heard a loud pop. Weird because it hit things in a triangle shape around the house. The scary part is I was about to bathe our baby girl in the stainless steel kitchen sink. Glad things weren't worse for y'all!

I was told after my strike that there is basically no surge protector that will help if you get a direct strike. They really only help with small power issues.

Any strike with enough energy to shatter a switch cover is pretty much going to blast right through a surge protector, too.

Posted: 8/9/2012 2:25:16 PM Glad you're ok. You're lucky the entire house didn't burn. We had a near-direct lightning strike run in through our cable lines about a month ago. It's unreal how much power goes through one strike. It blew the junction box off the outside of the house, fried our modem, cable box, etc. The little plastic trim piece on the front of the cable box was blown several feet across the room.

When I lived at home, we had a couple Oneac power conditioners that some customers of my step-father were getting rid of because they were going to smaller units. It was great having a 150lb conditioner under my desk protecting my PC while gaming - not so great when we moved
