Ask HN: Do you have any lightning protection at home?

We recently had a lightning strike near (or on? not sure) our house, and a lot of electronics got fried. I’d like to avoid that happening again.

I already had a type 1 whole house surge protector rated for 20 kA. I don’t know if it did any good—maybe the damage with have been even worse without it, maybe not.

I’m thinking about adding lightning rods. Curious what y’all have and what your experiences have been.
