It's like the gates around the Villages false security I have the whole house surge protector from SECO . Guess what ? We had a ground strike last year and lost our sprinkler system and phone and 1 wall switch .Our neighbor lost Tv and 2 garage door openers.You think you would be covered but that's not true
Unless you have the SECO mini surge protectors plugged into each device
they don't pay the whole house protector only covers appliances

Lots of them around. Live on a course and can't believe the number of stupid Villagers who continue to play when the thunder boomers start. Almost like having a Race Driver death wish.

But the house itself remained in tact.

I did not realize tha central Florida is called Lightning Alley! WOW!!!!

Oh no, not the guitar amp!

I've know people who were hit by lightening and it's not pretty. Some of them are in wheel chairs. When I hear that thunder storms are likely, I cancel my golf game, usually no points are taken.
