We've had 5 strikes on our street in 5 years. All hit between homes at the irrigation system and blew out air-conditioners, breakers, appliances, electronics and garage door openers. Some homes lost more than others and all were told by fire depts and various electricians that lightening rods would not have helped in any of these situations.
