Good questions, the key is giving the energy a safe path to go.
There are ground wires in the house wiring criss crossing throughout the attic and home.
L And If you have natural gas, there are grounded metalic lines the attic. Neither can safely direct the energy.
The LPS provides a high energy path to ground around the exterior of the building to dissipate the strike safely thus reducing the risk.
Knowing The Villages installs LPS on critical infrastructure is enough verification for me.
