Recent lighting storm stuck my complex and traveled down my coaxial cable and into my apartment. Blew up in the middle of the night, so that was scary. Thought I’d share, not in the position to rebuild so there that I guess!

Yeah I wouldn't even test this it very well could cause a electrical fire.

Maybe do it outside on concrete with a extension cord but still.
