Are you suggesting spontaneous combustion? I think not. In the houses that have gas the piping in the attics are flexible tubing and lighting hitting the house will cause the explosion because the tubing pinholes. I had my tubing replaced with galvanized steel pipe to prevent that from happening. In the spring rainy, thunderstorm season I don’t have that concern any longer.
