Highly unlikely because the wires are underground. But, if it does happen, you may need a lawyer and an engineer to read the warranty coverage and try to understand all of the things that are excluded from coverage.

Here is the exclusion............

Under no circumstances will MTI guarantee performance due to a lightning strike not carried down the utility power lines and through the utility transformer and then the SPD to the residence.
