Sorry to read of your tragedy. I hope all turns out well. Please take the time to look over the audiophile line at: www.Brickwall.com
These products are very popular in storm-prone areas of Florida because they are virtually lightning proof and never wear out. Of course, you can pay Richard Gray a LOT more for his products but you won't gain any additional protection.(IMHO) The Brick wall site is very comprehensive in it's presentation of the science involved in surge suppression and the limitations of MOV's. Factor in that their audiophile line is VERY reasonably priced (about $200) and you have a "must own" for anyone with gear worth protecting. I use one to protect my line conditioner, A Tice Power Block 3C, (I know, it has built in surge suppression but it relies on MOV's for that) and I never worry about my gear getting fried when I'm away from home. I hope my $.02's worth proves helpful. Best Wishes,

Michael.
