On the other hand if your home had a LPS for example, and lightning hit and was safely shunted to ground, unless you were actually standing outside your house at that moment, you would not know what actually happened. The Villages Lightning Study Group has I believe 16 documented cases of homes that the owners believed were hit by lightning. From one we have the damaged lightning rod, and in the others there was some evidence of the grounding cable getting hot and scortching a bush branch touching the wire.
