If you get a solid strike, I would agree that almost all bets are off. At least unless you put some real money into it, but nothing that usually makes sense unless you are protecting really expensive equipment. A friend of mine had a strike land somewhere snaking its way into his mains feed. I believe the feed was ~60 amp rated. Anyway. At least 10 meters of the feed was simply gone. Except for some soot there weren't any more signs of either the junction box, or the electricity meter. It was as if they had never existed at all! Just gone.
