Expensive storm!

Well we got our first taste or real winter last week.

From SFGate.com
"More than 50,000 still lack power
Rain keeps coming, snow pounds the Sierra - many homes, businesses will be without electricity for days because of storm's brutality
"

Well on a smaller scale the storm caused some damage to our house.

First one of our fences got blown down. the power went out for only 8hours wile the cable/Internet was down for 24hours. Well the power and cable outages were inconvenient, the part that sucks is the power outages kills 3 surge protectors. I guess they work it would have been really bad if all the stuff connected to the surge protectors got fried!

First dead power strip no biggie


Second dead surge protector. ok this one was more costly.


And the grand finale! the power conditioner for my home theater!



The carnage!


I temporarily fixed the Fence. Replaced the two power strips. Had to buy a new power conditioner for the home theater. I got a monster cable MP HTS 2600



Fits nicely in the rack and gets rid of the flickering on the TV when the dryer is running!
