Lightening is, as most have noted, opportunistic. If the opportunity exists for it to take your gas pipeline (often located in your attic), it will do so. This is a source of many fires in TV and, typically, much more destructive than a “standard” lightening strike. Rods might be effective in routing the strike away from these gas components.
