Your system struck by lightning? What did you learn?


I'm really curious to learn from anyone who has suffered a lightning strike.  Did you use surge suppression? What survived? What did not? Were your neighbors worse or better off?

Anyone pay for the electrical service's monthly surge suppression in the meter?

@erik_squires  - So you're actually doing it, eh? Where did you decide to go?
I lived in Alabama for five years and they certainly have whopping thunder storms down there but, I didn't get hit until I moved to New Hampshire:-(

just unplug when there is a storm brewing and if your going to be gone for days. my friend back in the 70's was sitting listening to music and his tv/fm antenna was struck and it took out his Pioneer turntable, Marantz receiver and Norman speakers
