Broadcastify Down

I took a direct lightning strike at ~3:30 this AM and my Internet is no more. Therefore, the Broadcastify streamer is down for this evening’s net and probably won’t be back up until sometime Tuesday.

All else seems to have survived damage, except maybe for some stains on the sheets and claw marks on the ceiling! Direct strikes are very scary to say the least. The flash that leaves spots in your eyes through closed eyelids and the boom that happens at the same instant are unforgettable.

Anyway,  the Broadcastify stream will be back up as soon as possible.
