I use gas tube suppressors (polyphaser)? mounted to a copper plate on
the ground rod inside a weather resistant box.? That's before it ever comes
into the house.? Its house protection as?anything that can't stand more
than 30-50V will die.? The ground must be best possible and also
bonded to the house ground.
The biggest issue is around grounds and what grounded as house
ground and lighting ground can easily have a high voltage differential
as a result of the pulse nature of lightnings high current pulse.? That
difference can kill electronic gear.
Most of the damage I've seen were hits to telco(PTT) and power lines
and then via phone and power lines in the house.
