There will be a free non-commercial educational lightning presentation at the POA meeting on Tuesday June 20th, 7 PM, at Laurel Manor. The subjects to be covered:
Personal lightning safety outdoors and indoors
Lightning induced surge to appliances and electronics
Lightning protection systems commonly called lightning rods
Debunking a bakers dozen common myths about lightning

This is a very informative presentation, highly recommend.
I've noticed critical infrastructure buildings in The Villages have lightening supression systems. Pump houses, fire stations, office/sales centers, etc.
Has any association been observed with metallic natural gas lines in the attic? Or the vertical steel gas pipe that runs from the meter to the attic?
That corner of the garage looked like the point hit in several recent local strikes. Concrete block walls are even cracked/damaged from the strike near the gas meter.
