Back on for a while (I hope)...

We had a lightning strike blow up our internet gateway router yesterday. Literally smoked it. The electricity was still on in the house--a large electromagnetic pulse went through the broadband supply wires. It also fried my husband's switch. Thankfully all the other Web devices are good. My husband was upset and low for a bit. We got the new router a few hours ago. Now we're back up again. More thunderstorms are forecasted for next week. I just hope they're not as bad.

We had one of these strikes a few years ago and it fried the network ports on everything that was connected. Grateful that it didn't happen again.

Other than that, life is going on as usual.

Hugs for all of you!
