My neighborhood had 2 guest speakers who were retired, engineers and worked in energy. They were not giving any opinions or advice. They just reported what they know about lightening and electricity. They said 8 out of the last 10 houses in the last 10 years that were struck and burned down had gas lines.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
