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.

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!
