Is there a way to protect your self from it?
You can buy a lightning protection system, which would include a grid of lightning rods mounted on the roof and connected to a cable that would run down the exterior wall and into the ground. I don't know the cost, but it would be at least several thousands of dollars. It think most people would conclude that it is not worth the cost, but some people do have them.
