<<<The commercial sites don't run out and disconnect everything
when the clouds form. Ditto for the VHF/UHF ham FM systems.>>>

Most hams don't have double or triple backup redundancy in everything 
either.  And since they aren't making money off their licenses, they usually 
can't afford to go out and buy a $250,000 tx right after their main got 
fried by lightning.  yes, it happens, even with all the protection, and the 
protection helps to be sure, but not always if the strike is a direct cloud 
to tower positive hit.
