Had a good storm last week. Sitting on my laptop about a foot and a half from my modem. Hear a noise kinda like breaking glass and see a blue flash from the modem, then smoke. RIP modem, you have been good to me, so sad.
The lightning affected nothing else, so i'm thinking it came right up the phone line. Glad my pooter is wireless. Last time it happened it fried a desktop.
Anyone else had this happen? How about @ Common? If I see lightning I am now unplugging my modem. You would think Century link would surge protect their lines. It coulda zapped me, what a law suite that would of been!
