yesterday evening lightning stroke near to our house. .. the house shook a little., but the light stayed on
Result:
1 one completely dead unifi 8 port switch 60W, it had no connection to the outside
2. two 8 port unifi 150W switches have lost POE on 4/8 ports
3. one 21" monitor dead.
4. one unifi external camera (in tree) dead, all other cameras (including 5 external) ok
5. one outside ethernet cable dead ( have to check what actually died)
All 25 RPIs, all MACs, all TVs, 23 other unifi switches/gw/cloud key/cameras .. survived
Internet - ATT fiber - did not blink.
And I am using ethernet surge protectors for cables going outside, like these
That was really bad (replacement cost $800 +) , but I guess, it could have be worse
Don't know what to recommend or do differently, but this can happen (like the tornado last year 1 mile away), just wanted to share
==> make backups and check if they work
