Lightning struck close to our house

I got home from work and found the BiL home -- apparently the place he works got hit last night and the entire factory was down today -- they're hoping to have it back up and running tomorrow.

Shortly thereafter I put a whole house surge suppressor in my breaker box. I figured the couple of hundred bucks for the suppressor was good insurance.

I had one put on my house too. It was supplied by the electric company. It sits outside before the power gets to the breaker box. It's a few dollars a month on the electric bill. I just got tired of frying UPS's, fridges, printers and things. It's been working over two years and we haven't lost anything else so ..... so far, so good.
