Re: Whoa --

Really, almost nothing will protect you from a direct or near-direct strike; the voltage will jump across any piddly barrier we put in its way.

The protectors are only good for more distant strikes, to stop the already attenuated surge flowing out from the center.

Michael at work, I believe, had his house struck a couple years back and cooked it solid, killed almost everything electronic within.
