Last week FOX 13 came to our Tampa warehouse with the question every homeowner in this state has been asking since August. Three buildings in the Bay Area burned after lightning strikes in three weeks. So what can I actually do about my house? Chuck Voight, our Senior Executive Vice President, gave the short answer […]

Every June, National Lightning Safety Awareness Week serves as a reminder that lightning is not just a dramatic weather event — it’s a leading cause of property damage, equipment failure, and preventable death in the United States. In Florida, that reminder carries extra weight. The state records roughly 1.4 million cloud-to-ground strikes per year and […]
Insurance carriers tightened underwriting requirements throughout 2025. Florida’s lightning claim payouts topped $2.6 billion between 2021 and 2024. And the Joint Commission didn’t accept “we lost power in a storm” as an explanation for a lapse in patient care continuity. For hospitals, medical office campuses, and large commercial facilities across Florida, the lightning protection industry […]
A hospital that loses power mid-surgery isn’t just an operational problem — it’s a patient safety crisis with immediate regulatory consequences. In Florida, where the average square mile absorbs 76 cloud-to-ground lightning strikes per year, new hospital construction carries a non-negotiable obligation: a fully code-compliant lightning protection system installed before the first patient walks through […]
When a single lightning-induced outage can cost your data center between $5,000 and $10,000 per minute in downtime, the question isn’t whether you can afford a certified lightning protection system; it’s whether you can afford to operate without one. Florida averages 76 cloud-to-ground lightning flashes per square mile per year, the highest density in the […]

In today’s tech world, strong surge protection is essential, not just a luxury. It keeps your equipment safe and running smoothly. This saves […]
Before a single insurance claim is filed or a piece of equipment fails, the exposure already exists. Florida’s lightning environment is the most severe in the United States — not by a small margin, but by a wide one. If you manage a commercial facility, school, hospital, data center, or any structure with people and […]
TL;DR: When a lightning bolt kills or injures a spectator at an outdoor venue, the legal exposure doesn’t hinge on whether the storm was unusual; it hinges on whether the facility had a documented warning protocol and acted on it. Florida logs roughly 76 cloud-to-ground flashes per square mile per year, the highest density of […]
TL;DR: When you start comparing lightning protection company options in Tampa, the websites all start to sound the same. Everyone is “trusted.” Everyone is “experienced.” The problem is that lightning doesn’t grade on marketing copy, and neither do the insurers and inspectors who review your building after a strike. What separates a real commercial lightning […]
