I feel so bad for the homeowners, luckily no one was home at the time of fire, as they were up North.

In the 3+ yrs I’ve been here I’ve heard much more about lightening strikes in TV than up North. Most don’t make the news because the damage is not as extensive as the house on Linden Isle.
According to the weather man on channel 6 local news lightning rods do not help. He went into detail about their history and why they aren’t worth having. You can probably find his explanation on their website.
