I had a strike on my barn, years ago. The electric lines ran
underground, to the power pole, near the house. It got into the phone
line, and vaporized the wire all the way to the street, a mile away. It
destroyed the SLIC in the pedestal, and made it over five miles into the
CO, in town. It also damaged a computer monitor that had the cables
disconnected, and wrapped around the base of the monitor. It fried the
C-band TV system, a TV, a stereo and one of my computers.


Sorry, didn't read your post till now.

I have underground from the hiway to my house , 200 years on the
primary or high side. All underground on the secondary (low voltage)
around my property.

Lightning took out all the computers on the place last summer.

That's the reason for this thread.
