Expensive equipment, meet lightning. Apparently, they don't mix.

So...we had a thunderstorm roll through the other day and a lightning strike fried the equipment that gives me internet access. This is the first I've been on since it happened, and I'm sneaking time at work to do it.

If I get the chance, I'll post pictures of one of the pieces of equipment. It's pretty cool looking. I'd share some of the structural damage to the building where it was housed, but it's too recognizable of a building. Personal privacy rules and all.
