Must agree, as , in my youth, had neighabor liveing across the street, in
Portland, OR., this on the valley floor, had her Electric Range struck by
lightning, tho, must also agree with Doc, the odds are not much better (or
worse, depending on your outlook!) of hitting the lottery. and, if your
home is serviced by power lines on poles, there is USUALLY a GROUND WIRE ,
at the top of the pole line, and, as lightning USUALLY takes
the path of least resistance, would be the object struck by lightning. It
never hurts, tho to provide lightning protection, just for
general safty. Jim NN7K

Not at all a dumb question. There are many people that think if it's

inside
you don't have anything to worry about (the ostrich syndrome). Lightning
doesn't care much about your roof nor does static. Treat it like an

outside
antenna.
