BIG strike either on the property or very close by.
Scared the crap outta everyone here.
Andy heard the gas computer crackling immediately after the strike.
Power went out immediately.
The power company guys were on the scene when it happened. Lunch break!
Lucky us, they checked all of our transformers and then figured it was a off site breaker and they took off to fix it.
5 minutes later the power was restored.
Gas computer booted back up properly! YAY!
Pump 3 was fried. 1 out of 4 down? I can live with that for a while.
I grabbed the special screwdriver that allows me to access the pump guts and disconnected all the power wires in sequence and reconnected them in reverse order. Pump 3 restored to service! YAY AGAIN!
Big rainbow behind us now.
Glad that I was home for this and I’m glad that it’s over now.
