This appears to be an outlier and further information would be useful because we have not seen this series of circumstances and it raises a number of questions.
Did this happen in The Villages? Where and when did it occur? Did the lightning protection system (LPS) firm have installers that were "Master Installer" by exam by the Lightning Protection Institute and was the firm listed by UL? In the aftermath of the event was the LPS firm called in to inspect the system.
How was the fire extinguished - by the fire department or by the homeowner shutting off the gas? What was the nature of the gas line failure and how was it repaired? Who was the manufacturer of the gas pipe? Was the gas manifold in attic grounded to the electric panel with a no. 6 ground wire? Was the manifold grounded to the LPS?
