The surge protectors won't stop it, even the whole house surge protectors.
The circuit breakers popping are second generation breakers which were faulty. They now have third generation ones which won't pop.
Apparently, and this is what I have been told several times by electricians I have been meeting at various homes, is there are Ham Radio operators who seem to be jumping over homes to reach the larger antenna's at the fire houses, since no large antenna's are permitted at homes. I haven't a clue how this works, as I know absolutely zilch about Ham Radios. You may already have the third generation cb and your house is not be effected or your house is not in the direct line of fire, so to speak.
