Whoa nelly. Hadn't heard this. I had a neighbor in Calif. whose entire household of electrical appliances were shot after a lightning strike (computer, microwave, toaster, oven, range, TV, stereo, cordless phone). All of it, kaplooey, just like that. The rest of the neighborhood was fine. Do bldgs still have lightning rods?
