Shore Power at Home Wired Wrong and Lightning also.

I know it's a little late but:

A surge protector won't do much good should there be a direct (or close by) lightning strike to the powerlines. If lightning is forecast pull the power plug (don't just turn the breaker off), disconnect any phone line, internet or cable TV connection. They can all provide a path for lightning. A direct hit to a nearby power line can cross any breakers or fuses you have in the line.
