You were reading my mind or maybe between the lines.

I wonder what will happen if the pole is struck by lightning. We have kissing lanais with 4 utility boxes in between. I think at the very least the electricity will travel to the boxes and everyone around me that is also connected to the boxes will get zapped.

It's just a hunch.

I have beefed up the surge protectors, added the gizmo that the power company sells and I do disconnect in a storm but I'm not home all the time.
