Lightning rods will not protect you from these Induced Power Surges. Only adequate surge protection will prevent that damage. See more information here Nextdoor |
$4,995 for rods, was the paperwork left by homeowner, as was $19,650 for landscaping and $9,850 for driveway.
No house was hit, according to FD and Seco, lightning hit the ground 39’ from any tree, pole, or structure. Traveling through ground to effected homes. The closest home to the strike lost all appliances TV, as did homes on both sides.
The next 2 homes lost some electronics.
We were the farthest last home and only lost irrigation box. That might be because interior was being painted and all appliances were unplugged.
2 homes had Seco surge installed. As did we, which didn’t stop the irrigation problem. Jacobs had to shut water off at the mail box.
