Dave,
  We are (in my humble opinion) the very center of the lightning capital of
Northern New York.   Our campus sits on a knoll overlooking a valley surrounded
by the adirondack mountains.  If there's an electrical storm within 100 miles
we get hammered.   We survived several storm's during the installation process
of our almost brand new campus wide fiber/UTP network.  Our system covers 60+
on a couple of square miles.  Although we haven't been running long enough to
endure one full thunderstorm season, I'm very confident that our problems will
be minimal.
