Had a full system go down during a thunderstorm in Tampa yesterday

The power surge fried the main panel and the backup battery was dead, so the whole house was dark for about six hours. I mean, I told the homeowner to replace that battery two years ago. What's your go-to surge protector for coastal installs?

Read that Florida lightning can cook even the best protectors.

My whole-house surge protector survived a direct hit last year.
