Lightning strikes. FUUU. GG 700$.

[QuackzMcDuck]

Well, whilst sitting on xbox watching netflix this very stormy day in Wisconsin, I was greeted with a loud boom and a shock through my headset or something. Nothing big just like a little static shock :shocked2: on my ears from my turtle beaches.

Turns out the lightning shot through my console and fried my ethernet port.
To top it all off it also to a blow to my TV causing half the screen to be black and the other half inverted colors.

Terrible night for me and the start for my summer..

I honestly really don't have a sole purpose of posting this, I am just really pissed off, being 15 and not being able to replace those things, I need somewhere to vent.

GF 6-700$

Discuss -- If you wanted to be nice perhaps, PM me to maybe donate towards a new TV or Xbox for me =P :undecided:

Dude, out of everywhere a thunder bolt could have hit, the chances of it hitting that exact spot is amazing.

That's what I'm saying, I hope, this is a once in a life time experience. I'm not replacing any more things than I need to. I don't even have the money for what is broken now:tongue2:. So I've been watching half of a screen with inverted colors for the past few hours...
