There no way to prevent lightening damage, all you can do is reduce the risk. Whole house plus local protectors for expensive items is the best you can do.

Having had a house hit, fixing/replacing more a dozen items and working with the insurance took time and was a lot of work.

So I do things, like surge protectors, that cost less than my insurance deductable to reduce the risk.
