I have had one very bad lightening strike that I lost almost all
the appliance's connected to the electrical service.
THey included, hot water heater, cook stove, freezer, dishwasher
my entire radio station, computers , TV, Stereo ETC. You get the picture.
The strike was a ground strike that came in through the ground system of the
electrical panel and phone line.
This strike took out 4 homes and all the under ground utilities had to be
replaced.
I have never believed in any kind of lightening protection. I used to live on
top of
a hill at 1200 ft. I now live in a 20 acres field at 2300 ft. How can you
protect against
a strike through the grounding system ????
