Dayum! Would a lightning protection system even work if the strike is between the lightning protection system and your gear? I would think a nice lightning rod would also be beneficial...
Was there a whole house surge protector installed ??? 🤣
I’m joking! I’m joking.
Damn that looks terrible! What an exceptionally violent lightning strike, glad everyone is OK!
While a surge protector would do nothing for this home, 99% of damaging electrical surges are not this bad. Good all around surge protection for home devices still makes sense.
A good friend of mine had his house struck by lightning 3 years ago. The lightning only caused a fire on the roof and in the attic. The amount of water the fire department poured on the house ruined everything. They had to strip the entire house down to the studs. The house and contends were a total write off. Took 15 months before they were able to move back in. Read and understand your entire home policy. IMHO
