Thank goodness for my smartphone lifeline
Power surge on my street melted 4 surge protectors and took out my computer, cable boxes (wife is in withdrawals), dimmer switches, heater, AC and router.
Glad I have my phone to keep up on SRP!
And my lathe and mill weren't plugged in
I love living in the past...

So you have your phone, lathe and mill... Did this even put a cramp in your day?
Seriously though that is rough. Guess you will just have to go in the shop for longer to keep yourself occupied...

A similar thing happened to me a few years back only thing that was affected was my PC, I phoned the power company and told them my PC no longer works after a power cut and they sent someone out a replaced it with a new one.

Yeah I've got to call the claims office this morning. I've heard similar stories such as yours so I've got my fingers crossed this won't be a painful process Originally Posted by celticcrusader

Buy yeah my neighbor had a bunch of things blown too.
