Maybe lightning/electromagnetic related and not the precipitation?

I actually have not had any weather related issues. A foot of snow, ice storm or heavy rain.

Here are my current life totals for each 6500EX as of today. I have too many simultaneous construction projects right now, but eventually my plan is to split the garage, the house, and the shooting range cabin into three independent solar setups. I'm likely going to do this by purchasing an...

Pad built and floor framing done. 4x6 PT construction. 7ftx21ft. Rebarred into ground. Need to fill half way with more rock before flooring and framing exterior. Floor will be 2x10 PT and rest of frame will also be 4x6 PT Will be two farrowing huts separated by a common wall.

Got the greenhouse done. Started on the farrowing huts by building the pad today. Socks thought the rock I put down was very tasty.

New outhouse with Port-a-potty inards for students to use and my wife's new greenhouse half assembled.

Is solar hooked up to this? If so the case of the inverter is likely going to be energized. And if you don't have grounding rods it will energize the container.

My favorite type of previous owner is "I have 7 different types of fasteners, but only about 3 of each. That's OK, Let's modify the house"

The tire and rim are 650lbs. I have a chain hoist to raise and lower the spare along with a 25 ton jack and cribbing to lift the axle.

Exhibit A. I had to chip out 6" of slush turned ice to water the pigs this morning.

I would have loved all snow. The ice is everywhere and dorking up my endless projects schedule 😂

We had snow, rain, ice, then snow again. Because we knew there would be ice I bumped our battery bank up from grid overnight in case it turned bad. Of course nothing happened and today was 100% Clear skies. So I probably would have made 60kWh, but instead I hit 100% after only 30kwH because I...

56,000lbs of I'm coming through 😂 She has a 24V solar system. Panels on roof.

Nice. This is Dozer, our custom camper built on a M916 chassis.

The two farrowing huts will basically be cabins. 8ftx12ft with front to back sloping 7.5ft-5.5ft roofs. They will share a side wall. I'm reusing the sliding barn doors. There will be power inside with a 3ftx7ft bunk to sleep on that doubles underneath as a heated area for piglets. You have to...
