cable hum after thunderstorm.........


Hi all,
Had Thunderstorms roll through early today and now I cant get the hum to go away from my cable, if I pull the feed from the wall it goes away, is this a box issue or something outside?, I rebooted the box several times with no help, could a ground breaker for the cable from Radio Shack be the answer (this has happened before but went away., thanks

I guess I should add I live in a rural city in Texas without a basement. My house ground is a 8 foot copper ground rod with a heavy copper wire running from the breaker box to the copper rod.
Hell if I know, and I doubt the cable guy does, but hey its gone so its cool with me.
Yup. Just like "blue balls, crabs and the seven year itch", you don't care why it's gone, you're just glad.
