Be aware, it's not just a direct lightning strike that can get you. We have lightning rods (bought a resale & they came with the house) and still suffered over $1K in damages last year (fridge & TV electronics fried). Our neighbors had a big metal rod holding a bird feeder. Lightning hit that rod and the surge is what caused our damage. We now have the SECO-installed surge protector in addition to the lightning rods.
