near disaster

[STURMJ]

The site was down for me for the last several days, prob something on my computer.  Here is the wire in question, burned right through heavy gauge magnet wire. It was wrapped with Teflon that was wrapped with copper tape, a drain wire attached then wrapped with Teflon again.Thankfully nothing was damaged other than this wire (I hope).

Do go through your home and see what else might have been damaged.  A few years back we had a tree in the back yard struck by lightning.  It took out my tuner, the garage door openers, my computer, the telephone base station and a door switch on the house alarm.

Everything was covered less the deductible.

I haven't noticed any thing yet. This happened in a addition that extends out from the main body of the house. Hopefully is was isolated.

Its funny, we have had direct hits to houses in our neighborhood, putting holes in the roof, starting small fires etc. No power outages or damages to power equipment in or out of houses in our neighborhood. I guess TEP did a good job with setting us up in the late 1990's. Power to the larger area of course has gone out due to storms. That usually happens several times a year.
