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

Hmmmmmm......the ISP gets struck by lightning on the same day a moratorium is requested on Religious discussion.
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.
