Dealing with a very close lightning strike on Saturday night. Took out my DC side of my camper, laptop, starlink and various other things. Local cell coverage is very spotty.
Time for a little unplanned digital retreat.
Will be doing lots of reading, Journaling, and brainstorming.
Be back to doing my show ans publishing videos when I get everything back up and rolling.
ETA 2 weeks. #grownostr #notthegoodlightning #rollwiththepunches
Oof.
I really am trying to figure out non-janky lightning protection.
Any good concepts, other than "lots and lots of copper"?
Yeah. A few, obviously not cheap.
As cheezy as it sounds, "EMP Shield" is a legit company.
I have a message out to them actually to see if it protects against the surge and static discharge.
From what I understand, it should help with surge, but, I'm not sure about the static discharge since that's tricky on a trailer.
I saw electricity dwindle to nothing in my apartment, then BANG! (louder than I thought possible) half a block away, then everything came back on. It sucked electricity from the grid! I can only imagine what it could do to an isolated system.
I am pretty sure we got a surge from the grid and also a static discharge through the air. It was super humid and my wife and I both felt tingly when it hit.
