This first thing I did to our Villages' home was to install lightning rods ... then a whole house surge protector ... then individual surge protectors for all electronic equipment. I then had the cheap flexible yellow gas lines in the attic replaced with iron pipe -- impervious to lightning. I then had a quick shut-off value (lever) installed on the incoming gas line -- so now there's no need to look for the right tool in an emergency - day or night.
