What is advised is that you buy or rent a whole house surge protector from Seco and also put individual surge protectors on ALL of your appliances and televisions, computers, etc.
You can further get lightning rods but only buy them from people who are legitimate. You can send a pm to a guy who calls himself Lightning on this forum and ask him how you can ascertain that. He doesn't own a business that installs them, he and another man just go around to different clubs and organizations and tell people about the different kinds of lightening strikes and how you can best protect your home.
And Bogie? Praying wouldn't hurt.
Nine homes have been completely destroyed due to direct lightning strikes here in The Villages in the last eight years.
