Default Re: Lightning Strikes

I know our place has a whole house surge protector, but I don't think it has anything else that would redirect a lightening strike. It was weird -- and very very lucky -- that the strike hit the landscaping and not the house itself. BTW, it was mulch that burned along with a bush and melted 2 sprinkler heads and some little plastic fencing that kept the mulch in place (no loss there!)
