You answered the question the way I would ask it. What have you done.

What is your suggestion re: lightening rods? If, I've followed all the posted information, attracting the lightening. We are about 1/4 mile form one of the water towers; probably the highest thing in the villages. I would assume it is regularly hit with lightening.
to a rod and directing it to a ground would create surges.
