No lightning (yet)!  I do have mine grounded through it's own 8' grounding rod.... hoping that helps save some electrical components if it ever does happen.  Actually, I'm just hoping it never happens.

Haven't thought of that but it's own grounding rod sounds like a great idea.  I will have to plan for that.  Fortunately I haven't got hit by lightning yet and hope I don't.  I did have one phone get hit earlier before I had it on a battery filter/backup.
