Most parts of the US do NOT need lightning rods. As was stated central Florida is a world leader in lightning strikes. Florida is like a big ISLAND surrounded by water that is producing clouds that carry rain and static electricity. The clouds pass over Florida which is higher (marginally) than sea level and they drop both their rain and static electricity ( lightning).
