Lighting protection is science, not religion, and requires no "belief".
Consider that tall buildings, towers, the electrical grid, and aircraft,
among many other things, are routinely hit by lightning and survive
unscathed.
Clearly, the lighting damage you and your neighbors experienced was due
to insufficient grounding.

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 ????
