A massive nasty thunderstorm blew by yesterday.
Sparks were observed comingout of the mains wall outlets.
All breakers with surgeprotection connected to them were tripped. Including the ground fault breaker.

All in all a storm that guaranteed would have cost me at least a dead DSL-modem and probably parts of my network.

Yesterdays damage report: zero damage.
