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?

I am moving to a lightning prone area this month.  My electric service provider does not offer in-meter surge protection like some do, but I will be adding it to my service panel, and using Furman's near my gear.

Best,

@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:-(
