Hi ThirdOfFive. We hear this a lot in the Villages that nearby strikes can cause damages as such from streets away. Small point of use surge protectors do help suppress such surges if they travel in. We highly recommend a whole home surge protector (which we offer at Pike's Electric) to protect all of your home's major appliances and equipment. If you have interest in more extensive protection, I'd love to help you! - Casandra with Pike's Electric (352)748-6251
