Just read Aeshir's b***h-fest, I can top that
Lightning hit my tree, everything that is wireless and powered in my house got knocked out permanently, this includes: flat panel tv, 2 CRT tv, nintendo wii, wiimotes, every cordless phone, every clock radio, and my cheapo router
everything that was unplugged and without batteries in them was fine, also things that are not wireless are fine, there was no surge or anything
I don't know how badly it affected my neighbors
and finally, some pics

I highly doubt things were killed over wireless... Rather strange though... Unless there was some emf damage.

. It was probably the wireless bases (plugged into the wall) that got zapped. Eg, the handsets for the phones that weren't in their cradles probably escaped any damage. Just a guess.

That's what everyone says.... until they need to make a legitimate claim covered by your insurance....
I had a $1500 laptop stolen while I was living on campus.... I took out theft insurance that year... And got a complete refund :)

I didn't know wireless stuff could get damage by lightning.
