It is incredible how the perspective changes once that has happened. Holy cow, did you ever figure out the polarity and amperage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamHLG Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Holy cow, did you ever figure out the polarity and amperage?No, but here is the remnants of the tree stump after the strike once it was cleaned up. The charge followed the landscape lighting wires into the house, blew up the transformer, electrified my server rack and network, blew out 3 computers, all my cat6 gear, and then some. It also scared the living **** out of us as we were home. Now I have PTSD and when severe storms strike I’m wishing it not to hit us. I’ll never forget it. Insurance paid for it all. . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
