What you need is BONDING -- all those grounds MUST be bonded together, 
everything in your station needs to be bonded together and to that.

I also live in the west, 7 miles from the Pacific, 70 miles S of the 
Golden Gate Bridge. When I moved here, I looked at the lightning map, 
saw it is quite infrequent compared to other parts of the country, and 
down-prioritized the work to clean up the grounding and bonding in my 
station. I knew what to do -- I even taught it -- but lots of things 
needed to be done. I lived to regret that decision. One of those 
infrequent strikes broke a lot of stuff in my K3.

What should you do?  Study the link I've posted here a dozen times. It's 
written for guys like you. :)
