Bogie is correct. If you get a direct hit or even a very close strike no surge protector will help. Best thing if you are home is unplug things like computers and TV and stereos. That is the only way they will be safe. At the meter surge protector is very good and if you are going to put one at the source get something like Monster or Panamax Home Theater type unit not a power strip. You can find them on Amazon from $250 on up. HO Insurance will cover damage but you will have a deductible and will have to prove how the damage was caused.
