Even with everything disconnected, lightning is induced into unconnected
wires and can cause damage inside your home.

------------ ORIGINAL MESSAGE ------------(may be snipped)
When lightning is around, I disconnect all coax and rotator cables and
I disconnect them at the base of the tower. I have connectors
installed there just for that purpose. There is no path into the
house.
Like I said, lightning does not want to go into your house, it wants
to go to ground. Why give it a path into the house via a ground wire?
Makes no sense.
