My house was struck by lightning and I lost a lot of AV gear. Yes, one can have peace of mind knowing that you are insured but the hustle of claiming and likelihood of exorbitant increase in premiums makes it better to just find ways to reduce the likelihood of a strike.

While there is no foolproof lightning porteiction, what’s the best one can do to make the risk minimal.
