Who do you expect to reach with this and the likely six more threads in Sept?

One scary picture from 14 months ago and 11 house fires started by lightning in the last 12 months. That make roughly 84,900 homes NOT burned by lightning… when will you start posting pictures of each of those?
Apparently only a few are reading the first post because this thread is not another lightning and surge protection awareness thread, it’s a thread about finding Villager’s experiences good or bad with the type-1 meter and type-2 whole house circuit breaker panel protectors. It’s interesting that some are endlessly criticizing this discovery. If you had enough reading about lightning and surge protection, no one is compelling you to read this or any other thread on the subject. From some of the posts there are people reading TOTV that are interested in this subject matter.
