Easy Come Easy Go…….BOOM!

Gentleman, consider a lightning protection system for your home..You can bet my rebuild will have a very good one.

National Weather Service recorded a 63,000 amp strike on my property.

Full replacement value. Starting over

We all got out safe

Would a lightning protection system even work if the strike is between the lightning protection system and your gear? I would think a nice lightning rod would also be beneficial...

I’m joking. Damn that looks terrible! What an exceptionally violent lightning strike, glad everyone is OK! While a surge protector would do nothing for this home, 99% of damaging electrical surges are not this bad. Good all around surge protection for home devices still makes sense.
