Hey, this is extremely off topic.
Out in CO we have been having some pretty extreme thunderstorms. Well today there was a particularly loud clap of thunder and maybe even a strike on or very close to our house. Now 3 or 4 outlets on the top floor will not work, a tivo box and a sound box at opposite ends of the house do not work, our outdoor lights seem to be blown, and it appears nothing happened in the basement.
What the hell!

These problems bear no consistency or logic. I guess that is electricty, but seriously this seems extremely random. If any of you who know something about lightning or electricity or something else, please inform me. There are no circuits blown by the way.
