I've asked before - has anyone with lightning rods on their home been hit by lightning - not that I am aware of.
Lightning rods are a one shot deal because they fry the grounding wires if they get hit. Not sure if liquid copper being sprayed around is healthy either... That will cause a major fire as well.
Larger buildings usually have them, especially if very tall, or covering a lot of land.
