Actually there has been at least one home with a LPS in the Villages that was struck by lightning without damage. If you contact the Villages Weather Club ask for Len Hathaway. He has all the data for the Villages. He will be doing another lightning talk today at 1:00PM at the Bridgeport Rec Center. 1670 Lake Miona drive.

If you attend you will get all the facts on the topic then you can make your own decision whether you get a system or not. If you go on Youtube and search for LPS you will see lots of hard facts on the topic and that they do indeed work.
