So what, you lost some electronics and doo dads. You and your's are alive, that's what is important. The electronics can be replaced, repaired and data recovered from back-ups (I know you have them). The fact that you consider losing your electronics harmful is odd.

It's an inconvenience at the worst. devil

PS: Glad you and yours came out unscathed. A strike that close could have been much worse.
