A Small Example Of What Lightning Can Do
http://www.pcmech.com/ article/ a-small-example-of-what-lightning-can-do/
I can guarantee that most long-time computer users that read PCMech have a lightning story or two (or more). If you’ve used computers long enough you will inevitably get something zapped. For example, years ago dial-up modems would commonly get zapped - thru the phone cable. Enough of a charge would travel across the wire after a strike and the modem was dead. No snap; no smoke; just dead. In the Tampa Bay area of Florida we get a lot of lightning during the summer and its very typical to the region. This includes the often destructive (and at times deadly) cloud-to-ground type.
