I had some very odd damage from lightning in my garage. In the mid 90's we had a thunderstorm,not very severe,but I did hear a couple of crashes around me.The next day when I went into my garage I found the radio was fried,the old dial phone on the wall was fried,and an old clock radio was gone.When I went to use my fairly new wire feed welder the wire speed was one speed only,wide open.The thing with that was it was unplugged.My concrete in that building is poured directly on ledge,and I left it unplugged for that very reason.It turned out to be the printed circuit board,and the tech told me it was lightning.I told him it was unplugged,but he said no matter,all the cables and cord acted as antennas for all that magnetism bouncing around in the room.It also fried the big,expensive surge arrestor I had put in.The maker gave me a new one,and said sometimes mother nature is stronger than anything they make.My dad built a house out front in 1963 and told me that lightning would always be a problem here because the house was built on that ledge.Lots of water in that ledge and it was always thought to be a lightning magnet.
