I just got in 5min ago with all stations still out 
I was driving when the storm went through, a few huge flashes and my scanner just went to static on all channels for 5min before it cut out, then cars started calling with no answer (ch 50, 21, 34) before it was realized that there was no VKI present.

Reminds me of when the SJA tower got struck at there HQ last year and put them of air for a week or so. They had to fly someone in from over east to fix the system.
