Are you talking power line or telephone line? big difference there. I have no protection on the power line but last summer I did get hit by lightning and ruined the well pump, furnace, a light and two telephones. First and only time for that since there was eletricity here since it was installed in 1946. Now on the telephone line I have them hooked up two in a row to the computor but not to the rest of the house. I also unpulg the telephone line for the computor every time I turn it off. And many a time when I wasen't prepaired it blew the first one of the two but never yet hit both of them. If there is a thunderstorm 10 mile away but the sun is shining here I will get hit on the phone line unless I have it unpulged, be nice here and on line and have it blow. Seems as if the surge protectors for the power lines are easy to get but very hard to get for just a phone line and that is all I use.
