Was looking out the window this afternoon and thought I saw a skinny bolt of lightning hit my pool. Wasn't sure, the thunder was instantaneous but surprisingly quiet, and when nothing seemed to be wrong with the pool's electrical, I figured I'd been seeing things.
Several hours later, it's clear we were hit *somewhere* I just don't know where.
- we have two computers, a Dell PC upstairs, intenal modem, and a Mac downstairs, external modem. Both modems are fried, though nothing else seems to be wrong with either CPU.
- A 75w incandescent bulb in a ceiling fan light blew while it was on. (upstairs)
- Both battery powered thermostats (up- and downstairs) reset themselves. The A/C compressor runs outside, but the fan/blower in the attic does not, so of course we have no A/C. (Some ice caked on compressor pipes.) No breakers were tripped.
Could this have been some forked lightning bolt that got my pool AND something on my roof? (The phone module out in my front yard show's no obvious sign of a lightning strike.)
Thanks in advance,
