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?

Lightning hit gutter and roof. Big flash and a bang. Smelled burning. Called fire dept. Lost $2600 refrigerator, modem and router, coffee maker, clock radio, a few LED bulbs and 2 breakers. A fuse blew in phono preamp. No other damage. No whole-house surge protectors. 
Not surprised. Anyone who puts their signature on a monster dial is not to be trusted.
