Let the Southie bashing commence!
Actually, I don't really want to bash Southie; I was just surprised the dude who always says that defensively in every Southie-related story here hasn't shown up yet.
Frigging
lightning. Get a life. Strike somewhere else.
Why don't they just call
Why don't they just call their neighbors and make a bucket brigade instead of wasting taxpayer dollars on this crap?
Feel free to mock
'Old, racist, white guys', a favorite topic of yours. I'm sure there were a few 'old, racist, white guys' among the firefighters, or certainly some middle aged or young 'racist white guys'.
South Boston Bashing!
Thanks for filling in. Nice job. I was a bit worried about my tardiness.
Can't blame the yuppies
One roof deck fire in Boston you can't blame on the yuppy numb nuts.
Good luck
They will probably end up rewiring the entire house and buying all new stuff that was plugged into it.
Panel surge protectors
Are a great investment. Short money, like a few hundred bucks, but it can protect the part of your house that isnt on the circuit that gets the strike. Mine came with a $50,000 warranty on equipment and repair if it fails.
Those are a good investment,
Those are a good investment, they are cheap to install and protect against most surges.
For a lightning strike though, if it actually strikes the house, it can just blow wires right out of the walls. I saw this first hand when lightning struck near our barn where I grew up. A little surge suppressor gap surely won't stop that!
Maybe some lightning rods! Now that's proven technology!
