Lightining strike? ***URGENT***?

Question

My house was just struck and now I have a horrible headache. We are pretty sure it was our chimney that got hit what should we be doing and looking for? We already know two T.V.s are fried but the DVD players are working? Can someone please help ASAP

Answer 1

well first you must call the fire department and you should meet your doctor to check you and your family health condition..

and for the next step i think you should set a lightning protection in your house. Contrary to popular belief, a lightning protection system will not attract lightning, nor will it prevent your house from being struck. However, it can provide a safe path for lightning to travel safely into the ground.

You should only use a qualified, licensed contractor to install your lightning protection system. Although your contractor can best advise you on the exact system you need, most systems include: roof lightning rods, ground termination rods, interconnecting conductors, and surge arrestors and suppressors for your wiring and electrical equipment.

If you’d like assistance in finding a qualified contractor in your area you may call the Lightning Protection Institute toll-free at 1-800-488-6864, or check out their website at www.lightning.org.
