I come from a state we never really worried about lightning strikes to much

We have one and had an indirect lightning strike 3 years ago. Almost all of our electronics were fried. We called SECO and here’s what they told us….’ The surge protector only covers damage to items with motors and compressors’. We were out of luck. And, when they do cover something, they only repair and don’t replace.
We still have ours because we’re concerned that next time we might need the protector. Hmmmmm…..
