Make sure that your phone lines are protected too. Our neighborhood lines were hit by lightning and we lost all phones, the modems in our computers, etc. as did others on our block.
When we asked the phone company about surge protection for the house, they insisted that lightning never comes in via the phone line. Fortunately the insurance company covered the loss.
