[pooh]

The thunder woke me shortly after 4 this AM. LIghtning was intense. Looked like someone had a strobe light on outside our bedroom windows. Got up to check the weather on tv. Cable shut off, internet lost. Modem needed to be reset and now have two cable boxes that went belly up and one of those HD DTA boxes, too, has given up the ghost. Couple of circuit breakers tripped. Tv on the lanai has also gone to the dark side. Not sure where the heck there was a strike, but there was a loud pop outside before all went haywire. Wasn't loud enough for a direct lightning strike, have had one close by years ago....they are deafening! Comcast will be out to check the boxes and the DTA., but it seems replacement is needed. Main DVR and one other box are okay.
