Hoo-boy. About 1500 Wednesday, in the midst of another toad-strangler, we had a lightning strike on the transformer atop the utility pole out back. It fried the fuze on the transformer and bunches of cable components, including the tap and filter on the pole, the cable splitter on the side of the house, the cable modem, and the network interface card (NIC card) in the PC. Just now getting back online. Rainfall total now stands at 38 inches since 30 June.

When that lightning bolt hit, I ducked and was scannin' for the sniper....sounded just like a rifle shot. My neighbors watched it travel down our driveway, through the Cyclone gate and across the back yard before jumping up the pole to the transformer, on the other side of the property. That'll send 'em to church on Sunday!
