As someone who had to deal with a house whose power line was hit by lightning I can attest to the ability of a good surge protector to help. Anything that wasn't on one was fried. Needless to say replacing everything took some doing and almost a year before all was said and done. Each item had to be inspected by a licensed professional and a replacement had to be on the premiss before a check for everything was finally issued, and that was after the deductible was reached. I now have both the surge protector on the meter and on each electronic. Hopefully the one at the meter will help with the light fixtures and switches should I get hit again.
