Looks like a nice bit of charge has gone through that modem alright!
Still looking unstable from tomorrow evening especially as the coldest part of the long wave trough swings over.
Yes, looks like a cold pool will pass through overnight tonight/morning with hail and the chance of the odd thunder clap. Looks good on the sat pic currently.

"Cracker" photos.
Looks like a goner to me.
Modems don't work too well after their smoke has escaped. :-w

It would have been quite a sight if someone had been nearby at the time. :crazy:
