We had damages to our home last year from lightning. It hit the outside cable box and the wires running into the house became so hot that the heat burned the vinyl siding. Even if we had protection nothing would have prevented our house from getting damaged. People who lived 2-3 blocks away described it as the loudest they ever heard.
