Lightening vs. Computer

Post by KrispyKritter » Fri Jun 18, 2010 12:54 pm

They say the unit had a UPS, but the modem did not. The modem cable couldn't conduct the full force of the strike, so a lot of the gray splatter is probably exploded capacitors and other melting parts.

Lightening will do what it wants, without rhyme or any reason discovered by mankind.

Did they roast marshmallows? Been a PC Tech for a little over 11 years and never seen one that bad!
My Buddy is an electrician and he told me about a house he had to help rewire, the lighting blew a 12 foot lighting rod out of the ground and tossed it close to 30 feet away!

Haha, that's what the US Armed Services should use nowadays, an electric harpoon gun!

Also Krispy, you sure that's not an Xbox 360? :lmao:
