Has your STR ever been struck by lightning?
A storm passed through this afternoon. Currently, power is on but lightning blew a couple of breaker switches plus WiFi is down, modem is fried, dishwasher doesn’t work, dryer turns on but doesn’t heat, garage door opener doesn’t work and one Nest thermostat was fried.
I don’t expect to file insurance claim and it's probably an act of God clause or whatever it’s called these days.
Guest called me and is there until Saturday morning when next guest arrives. I suppose I’ll be buying a new Bosch DW, modem, Nest, and whatever else tomorrow.
Thoughts or guidance?

I had lightning take out an AC unit once and my insurance company did replace it.
So might be worth calling them. You might find more damage.
