Yesterday around 3pm EST we had a storm here, and the same one came over me that went over my friends ISP--He has a 85ft Tower (For Wireless), and Lightning hit it, melting wires, BLEW THE COVER off of his router! hit 2 of his machines inside too. His webserver, mail server and our server were NOT effected thank the gods! :D

Routers replaced, and we are back! We may go up and down today as he is replacing cable.. man, talk about freaky.

<font color=Orange>Eep! We were lucky! I guess thaat answeres my question in my post :D </font>

<font color="plum">Hmmmmmm......the ISP gets struck by lightning on the same day a moratorium is requested on Religious discussion. :eek:

Coincidence? I wonder. [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

Just kidding. I am also glad it wasn't more serious. I was going through severe withdrawals already.

Glad to see IronWorks back up and running.</font>
