[TenTec] My first TenTec Rig.. RIP

[Dave Tipton]

Yup... Found a couple more switches and a VOIP router cooked too...  I have suspicions that an on board NIC may be blown too, but have absolutely no way to verify it at the moment.  We still haven't inventoried the rest of the house.  Since the breakers blew on the back half of the house, I suspect, we'll find more stuff back there.

1. All antennas (I do that outside).
2. All power connections (UNPLUG power strips,
not simply turn it off.
3. All phone lines (unplug from modem).

Even with surge suppressors on the power and phone
lines, a lightning strike will laugh on the way to
your equipment. I'll bet you are going to find
more damage as you follow the above chain.
