The good news is: I now have a 47" TV with far better picture than my 5
year old 32" and a better sound system.
More stuff is on surge protectors too.

Out of curiousity, is there a lightning arrester on service entrance? They
can help before get to the individual protectors.

In TN some years ago, took nearly everything in the house behind a friends
including dislodging about half of the brick veneer off rear of two-story
mini-McMansion...it's pretty amazing what it can do, indeed.

Nothing on the entrance. I'm debating whole house surge protection.
Initial cost is about $150, then a $6 monthly charge. Over the years I'm
still ahead, but. . . . .

OTOH, I'd not have a new big screen TV for a while without the lightening.
