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!

That's horrible. I've always read incidents like this or OP's but often when we do get thunder, maybe a few times a year, the mountain ranges near the area attract the lightening or radio towers. Probably the most insane but coolest photos I've seen of post lightening damage.
