What is generally described is Primary Surge Protection on the electric meter and Secondarily Surge Protection on any valuable appliance or electronic equipment is good protection for the more frequent but less severe INDIRECT lightning strikes. If your concern is the less frequent but potential more severe DIRECT lightning strikes you should consider a lightning protection system from a installer that is listed by Underwriters Laboratories and their craftsman have passed the Master Installer exams offered by the Lightning Protection Institute. Two differed risks and two different solutions.
