A comparison of roof tops per strike for each year, may be a conversation worth having.
Then since info would be beneficial break down south of 44 which has less giant trees, then say between the 6’s where trees are fewer, and in northern area where giant trees are everywhere.
For many money isn’t the object, but sound numbers of document strikes is definitely worth looking at.but more than normal doesn’t really make an interesting topic for those who look at statistics
That would be a great informational meeting.

Thinking that trees help protect you from lighting is bad thinking - and dangerous thinking. There are numerous cases of homes being hit by lighting even though large tress were next to the home. People forget - homes are better pathways into the ground than trees, because homes have pipes, conduits, and wires which can travel deep into the ground via utilities connections. In other words ... lightning bolts often see homes as better targets than trees -- without or without lighting rods. Don't become a statistic.
