At 02:00 on Christmas, lightning struck the house causing a near fire from an arc jumping to the gas line behind the stove, which was promptly extinguished and the fire department was called and checked the house out. No further damage was found fire wise (and the stove survived!). On the electrical side of things no severe damage occurred to our electrical system by I lost my main network switch, and all my battery backups. It was insane. As of now and until the new UPS arrives everything will be inoperable. All of the computers survived (minus a few corrupted files). Happy holidays and I wish you all a happy new year! :)
