Yesterday's lighting storm(s)
Yesterday we had a rock'n storm swing thru...winds were not that bad but massive rain (my bucket on the boat had 5" of water in it and it was partially covered from the gunnel. in a couple hours)
The lighting was severe. 4 boats in OB harbor were hit, one twice which was right behind me! Luckily I had my ungrounded outriggers down. Everything seems to work OK on my boat but they said one sail boat lit up like a fireworks display with sparks raining down into the water.
I asked this before but I am not really sure what you can do to protect your electrical systems from storms like this. Yeah the boat is grounded but I don't think it was intended to take a bolt of lighting.
