I'm pretty sure the original owner had nothing installed, to protect it from storms. Is this a sign I should get lightning rods and surge protection?

Thank GOD that all appliances worked after the storms.

Please advise.
Joe, we just had A-1 Lightning Protection do our home and they installed a whole house surge protector along with the lightning rods. Very happy and more relaxed!!
