Lightning Crashes

Lightning struck pretty close by the day before yesterday (13/12/006).

Knocked out my access to the internet.
Initially I thought only my network card had fried,
but upon further inspection,
I found out that my modem had partially fried too.

Funny thing.
I can see that it detects the DSL connection but
I can't seem to get it to connect through its ethernet port.

The lightning didn't just knock out my modem and NiC.
It also took out the outside router and even the DVD player.

Of all the expenses I had considered,
natural disasters were one that I overlooked.
It show that you cant really be perfect,
no matter how hard you try.

BUT sometimes ...
just sometimes ...
I believe we do get lucky.
