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!
Wow! You didn't need that on top of everything else!
I am glad you are back!
