I was struck by the fact that LPS was not even an option in a designer home here. My two previous houses in Princeton did have them. They were on a ridge between 250 and 400 feet MSL (above sea level). In the first, we had lightning strike a tree about 150 feet from the front of one house. There were chunks of wood from the explosion of the trunk on our front porch. Four foot sections about 50 feet from the trunk. The surge also triggered the window alarms (or the thunder did, not clear which).
I think I have only seen about 3 or 4 houses here with LPS, all in the same neighborhood. When and where are the presentations? How do we find this valuable information?
