“... burns to her hand, and the shock melted the USB connection port on the controller she was using.”

This is why you get a surge protector

Did you folks know that your computer can be destroyed and you can be shocked by lightning even when everything has been disconnected from the wall socket? Lightning strikes are obscenely high bursts of electric current, which is always accompanied by a proportional magnetic field. That magnetic pulse will induce current flow in any conductor. Speaker coils can deliver hundreds of volts to the computer in response to that magnetic pulse.

The rest hurts.

shocked straight up the wire of his controller.

So, that's what they're calling it these days.

Many years ago, my Dad was watching tv when lightning struck a transformer in the pole across the street.
Blew out his tv, microwave, and rang his landline.
Good thing he wasn’t near any of them.

That’s why you spend the extra money and go wireless.
