The sad multiple strike experience in Fla. shows the need for gas gaps,
single point of entry copper plate at a multiple radio site, and grounded
repeater antennas of the commercial grade multiple bays of folded grounded
dipoles.  Even then, NASA experiences occasional damage at the Space Center
launch pads ,with their built in lightning suppression systems to drain
charge accumulation.

Disconnect in the station is about the best added thing one can do.
