I'm really not very technical or knowledgeable about lightning, but having lived in s/Florida for over 40 years I've lived through many lightening storms and never even thought of the house being hit.
Isn't there anything to install on a house to prevent strikes??? Lightning Rod??? Anything?
I would call the Fire Dept. and ask their profeesional advice re; lightning rods,etc,etc. They told me not to put the rods on the house,so ck. it out w/them first.
