So I've been here before. Had a bad lightning strike and then put a lot of effort into constructing a proper commercial grounding system around my vertical. That part worked very well. What I never expected is that the next strike would jump over the vertical, over my drive way and follow the telephone cable into the house. Even with lightning arrestors on the phone lines, it still managed to damage a lot of electronic devices all over the house (including ham gear) by lifting the ground in many places that had no connection to the phone lines. We live and learn.
