Ugh. First big thunderstorm of the year last night. Lightning strikes tree outside apartment, and either bypasses the surge protector to fry the Fire TV box and our new(ish) 4K TV that we are still paying off, or goes through the modem to do the same. Literally nothing else is damaged. NOTHING. Speakers work fine, amp works fine, modem works fine, and everything plugged into the surge protector is fine. It literally targeted the TV and Fire TV box, and nothing else.
Now have to shell out money to replace the Fire TV box, since it's a first generation model and they don't make them anymore. TV is still covered by store warranty, but it's a used TV so the original factory warranty is shot and the store is giving us the royal runaround.
Hooray for f***ing Tornado Alley.
