I had a receiver dish on a 40' pole with a nice ground at the bottom of the pole. Lightning struck and followed the antenna lead right into my modem and ate everything on the desk that was plugged into the surge protector. I credit the surge protector with saving the rest of the house electronics because nothing else was hurt.
