That may be true, but only a very small percentage of the Villages houses have a lightning protection system. One poster said it is only one percent. On my daily walk around the neighborhood, only one house has lightning rods, but none of the houses have been damaged by lightning in 8 years. Any statistician will tell you that the data is not large enough to prove anything because there are so few houses that have lightning rods. You need a much larger sample.
One other point. How do you know that no houses destroyed by lightning did not have lightning rods? Where was that information reported?
