Lightning strike
Our camp host job came to an abrupt end Sunday night. One lightning strike at the end of a rainstorm, hit a tree 30 feet from our satellite dish, dug a trench through the ground to our coax, ran through 80 feet of coax and into the Monty. After the fire dept. left and the smoke cleared, we are lucky to have minor damage, thanks to the Progressive HW50C. It took the lick, even blowing the top cover off. It's in the shop awaiting an estimate, but by what I checked out we lost the Samsung tv, the dish 211 VIP box, 3 LED lights, the satellite coax to the entertainment center, and possibly wiring to the lights. This after surviving 60+ MPH winds during a thunderstorm at an outdoor pavilion for my 40th high school reunion Saturday night. What a weekend!
