Last month one of my towers took a direct hit from lightning. The ONLY
damage was a 486 computer which was completely wiped out because I had
failed to protect the phone line going to the modem. My homeowner's
coverage is also through State Farm and they paid the entire replacement
amount minus the homeowner's deductable--no hassle. Presented the
receipts and got a check same day.
