I stopped following the manual for panel grounding after a lightning strike near Cincinnati left everything fried anyway

Every installer I know swears by the factory grounding specs, but after that close hit last August I started running an extra 6-gauge copper to a separate rod and now my false alarm callbacks are basically zero, so has anyone else tested a second ground path against the official guidelines?

Have you noticed a drop in unexplained issues after adding a second ground rod too?

Doubt it was that dramatic of a change honestly.
