Several years ago three homes in The Villages burned to the ground from lightning strikes. It's not just an electronics hazard. Fires follow lighting strikes by the energy following the pipes in your homes to a combustable spot. Especially a hazard if you use gas for heat or cooking. And what about your personal, especially memory items and pets in your home if your house burns? Insurance won't take care of all of that. Right after the third house burned I had lightning rods put in from Triangle Lightning Protection, which is one of the companies that the POA recommended. Peace of mind was well worth the cost, which to me is not that much of a cost.
