Hello Jrref, Just wanted to mention thank you for such a detailed and informative post! Unfortunately there is no protection from a direct strike. We have received calls to respond to electrical issues in the aftermath of direct or nearby strikes causing damage. We have also received an influx of calls from new and older homes/residents in The Villages interested to transition their home's gas appliances (range and dryer) to electric. Although we do not get involved with the removal/capping/shut off of gas lines into the home, we have recently received numerous calls per day to make this change, wonder if it is because of such circumstance? New built homes in the Newell, Lake Denham, and even Middleton community homes may still have specification to install lines/gas appliances. On the note of whole home surge protection - We offer whole home surge protection with the Eaton Ultra, you may have some knowledge on it, and have had great success with it protecting homes with surge damage from nearby strikes/power surges. I look forward to reading any other information you may post for education. - Casandra with Pike's Electric
