On Wednesday it was said to me by a customer that a lightning bolt hit the
fiber cable to their house and blew the Fiber box off the wall. Verizon
had to replace the whole box.
It was stated to the customer by (I assume) the Verizon guy, that the
lightning strike that hit a tree and blew out the ground from the tree in
a line to across the driveway (some 30 feet long)to a point where the
fiber is buried. This point is easily 1/4 mile from the house and
followed it to the Fiber/Phone box blowing it off the wall and knocking
out the phone service.
I had to replace the phone line protector that I had installed on the
security panel. Panel was ok and functions with out a problem.
There a lot of "Say What's???" and "Really's??" in the story above.
The fiber runs on top of the underground power cables that run beside the
driveway.
that's impossible. one of the reasons to go with fiber is it's immune to
lightening.
