 >It was not connected to an antenna at the time,
but it WAS connected to a computer, that was
attached to a network segment that came directly

1.  All antennas (I do that outside).
2.  All power connections (UNPLUG power strips,

3.  All phone lines (unplug from modem).

lines, a lightning strike will laugh on the way to
your equipment.  I'll bet you are going to find
more damage as you follow the above chain.
