Oh, Barb, that is terrible about the lightening strike and the damage it did
to your gear. However, it could have been much worse. Lightening hit a
friend of mine's house, and fellow ham, here in Kentucky, and it caught his
house on fire; it burned to the ground, and he lost everything.

Had very serious lightning strike yesterday and glad I wasn't home.  Took
out my rig, my desktop computer even though it was connected to UPS, several
GFI's and had to reboot alarm system. Italso took out my cable.  Rope on
antenna broke in the tree. Wow.
