Lightning strike

Okay, my mother-in-law says the pool was struck with lightning. She says she saw it hit. Oddly no damage to the pool, but it killed the pump. Pump, lights and SWG stopped working right after the strike. Resetting the fuse in the basement and the gfci's on the outside outlet and the ones on the pool equip resulted in another blown fuse in the basement. Narrowed it down to the pump after a number of resets. Replaced the pump this weekend and everything is working well. I would have expected it to effect the SWG as well, but no problems there.

Could have replaced the intex pump for 150+shipping from intex, but decided to instead order a new intex filter, the 3200gph 16inch from amazon for 200 and get next day delivery. If anyone needs spare parts, let me know, I only used the pump from the new filter.
