My network took a lightning strike this morning at 5:35. I was already up and moving around when I heard that "pop" coming from the computer/radio room.
I lost two wireless routers, an on board lan card in the development computer. I don't have any phone service. The ham repeater will talk but not listen. I am sure there are other devices down, but will not know until I start restoring some of the things.
Good news is the internet satellite did not die, EMWIN receiver is good, and NOAAPort is working great. Some people build great equipment and charge a little extra for lightning protection in their equipment. I don't think the parts in the LinkSys with stood the test...
I am now considering a new development computer. Lightning -- yes time to consider upgrading.
