This 100-year old house may not have any right angles, but now were perfectly okay with that. :) That surge protector/electrical panel idea also sounds like something to check into. Thanks, Julie.

Super glad you're both alright, so yes, lightning rods are good. I've been considering putting in a whole house surge protector that get's wired into your electrical panel... this story has made that a new priority.... given we're on top of a hill! Wow!
