Wasn't struck by lightning, but a raccoon shorted out the incoming power to 220 volts. The lights flickered and I immediately ran to shut off the house's main breaker. Went back to the living room and smelled that something in the system fried. Turned out it was the Monster Power Center I had many other things plugged into. I got lucky because that was the only thing that was affected. I bought a better model to replace the one that fried.
Your system struck by lightning? What did you learn?
I'm really curious to learn from anyone who has suffered a lightning strike. Did you use surge suppression? What survived? What did not? Were your neighbors worse or better off?
Anyone pay for the electrical service's monthly surge suppression in the meter?
