Well I just had a pretty close lightning strike here a few hours ago that hit the utility pole right across the street which connects to the house. I actually saw it hit so that was pretty neat! There was a small bit of fire just after it hit but it quickly went out along with all the power down the street. However, it seems some of it went through the cable line into the house and fried the phone modem and a wireless router, so that was not so good.
