Easy Come Easy Go…….BOOM!


Gentleman, consider a lightning protection system for your home..You can bet my rebuild will have a very good one.

National Weather Service recorded a 63,000 amp strike on my property.

Full replacement value. Starting over

We all got out safe

Those speakers look OK. Does any of the gear still work? When a lighting strike hits a house, I’d assume it always hits a portion of the roof or an antenna, but who has an antenna any longer? Does it automatically destroy anything plugged into an outlet? Does it destroy every electronic device in a house? 

yes, those speakers are in fine condition! Would you like to buy them? They are on sale, unique opportunity to pick them up at a discount

Not that this is necessarily relevant to the OP, but I've been thinking about a roof replacement and reading up on metal roofs.  They are no more/less prone to lightning than shingles but compared to asphalt shingles may be much less fire prone.  Also, if installed with an offset can offer significantly better heat rejection.

Taking a closer look at the damage, OP, it's a real shame that the lightning took out so much of your room acoustic treatments.... real shame.  😉
