They use a special screw with sealant on all roof penetrations and the cables are secured tight so they don't move around. I agree when you think of the number of roof penetrations needed to install a system it can be a little daunting but in reality it's not a problem. Worse is if you don't install a system and then get hit. The ensuing damage will dwarf any concerns with the On-roof installation. Hope this helps.
I'm just curious. Are you sure there are "thousands" of houses in The Villages that have a lightning protection system? I have not seen very many.
