A house two houses away was struck and had some fire damage to the attic area. My TV was taken out as well as a brand new DVD player and my computer internet adapter. The TV was still covered by the manufacture's warranty, just a little less than the year covered. I contacted the TV man. and they sent someone locally out with a replacement power board for my TV. It took longer to remove all the screws on the back panel than it did to fix the TV. It was free due to the warranty. My home owners insurance had a thousand buck deductible, and when I called the electric company because I had the whole home surge protector, they told me that it wasn't covered. Only motor powered electronics was covered in the home.
