    Daaayum!

    Our house was hit by lightning about 14 years ago. No fire no injuries. We lost a LOT of electronics though.

    Dude! We received a glance when we lived in Midland that didn’t hit the house but it came in via the phone line. Jacked up lots of electronics.

    Those holes! Holy crap.

    We’re still figuring out what all was fried. We know we lost all our AT&T equipment (internet and cable boxes), 1 Xbox one, 27” tv in a guest bedroom, Roomba, coffee maker, brand new 65” tv, and our oven. That’s just the items we’ve checked so far.

    Edit: I forgot the ring doorbell, Arlo cameras, both our garage door openers and our AC unit.

    Yeah. We lost 4 TVs, both AC units (the circuit boards at $1500 a piece), microwave, dishwasher, freezer, and a computer.

    I finally found where the lightning struck our house. It was on the flashing in the upper story, on the east side of our house. The mark was only the size of a dime.

    On ours it hit the copper line that runs from the attic unit to the exterior unit. It then ran the flashing around to the front of the house down an electric line and exited where the brick is exploded. When I say exploded I’m not kidding. There was brick pieces all over our driveway, front yard and 3/4 of the way across our cul-de-sac. Approx 100 feet from our house.

    For sure. We had the electricians at the house all day Friday getting power back on. Monday they’ll come back, test and replace everything that’s damaged. We’re 3k in right now, probably have another 12k in electrical before we even start on the other repairs.

    It turned out that we had 30k in damage. Home owners insurance covered all of it. We had a $500 deductible. The battery backup company, for the computer, covered the deductible and we were $0 out of pocket.

    We have the adjuster and our contractor coming Monday so we can get a real idea of the cost. Tomorrow we’re going to go through and figure out what all electronics are fried.

    One thing we will be adding is a whole home surge protector.
