You have homeowner's insurance to cover damage caused by mother nature. The surge protector warranty covers almost no damage in your house, especially by lightning. The lightning must actually travel through the nearest transformer to cover any damage, and even then, it still only covers a few appliance motors in your house. It doesn't cover any electronics or anything with a microchip. It doesn't even cover any wiring or outlets in your house. (See Post No. 36).
