Just looking at 2014 with 55,000 houses the odds are 18,000 to 1.

Overall just about the same amount were struck and protected.

Four times as many gas homes than electric burned down. 12 out of 15

What percentage of homes have protection?
What percentage of village homes have gas?
How many homes protected and struck were gas?

Lightning strikes are random.
