Fortunately, my homeowners insurance (State Farm) will pay for that loss up to and including if the rig that was damaged is no longer available, will pay for whatever has taken it's place. Had a test of this back in 1999, when I took a direct hit. Insurance paid 100% "NEW" replacement cost. for all radios and antennas. It was Christmas in May, sorta. Policy still the same, with same coverage. Interesting side note of the lightening strike, only rig not damaged at all was the one connected to an Alpha Delta 2 position antenna switch box with arc plug. Three other rigs, power supply and a bunch of other accessories on the bench became toast. Gene, N9TF K3S-F 10057

I'm pretty OCD about disconnecting my station when not in use (major pain) and actually had my coax arch connector arc over recently (I keep rubber covers over the connectors when not connected) when a storm was near and there was a lightning hit up the road. It would be a real shame to invest in a lifetime rig and lose it to something silly like a storm/fire..etc. Just wondering what folks do and their experiences protecting their investments.
