[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1631425, member: 46727"] It sounds like you had a close lightning strike which took out the equipment and may have also damaged your iMac through the ethernet connector. We get thunderstorms here in our area of Texas that sound like WWIII has started. Some years back we had a close strike that took out the modems, all our TV sets, and my central air unit motor. Big $$ damage. About the only thing you can do to protect against a strike or close strike is a total home ground system. I'm also on a electric co-op here and they'll install a system like that for you but it will cost. When we get thunderstorms around here, I just disconnect everything electronic from the power mains.
