Yet another Pi killed by lightning

I would like to add one more thing. We have seen many more damaged Raspberry PI 3 ethernet connectors than through the antenna to USB.

Surge protect the power connectors on your modem and routers. Incoming surges on the power lines seem to be a much more common. An even better solution is to use WiFi networking and remove another path for surges to travel.
