We live in Collier. We have a surge protector on the service entrance and individual surge protectors on electronic pieces in the house. Last night, the storm toasted the surge protector for our TV and stereo equipment. No equipment damage - better to lose a $50 surge protector than our equipment.

Whole house surge protectors are not enough. Be sure to add individual surge protectors at your equipment locations.
