Keep in mind there is significant non-residental LPS application here including: buildings in the squares, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, fire stations, pump houses, water towers, power lines and other critical infrastructures have LPS with no reported damage

Cell towers for example can and do operate with impunity while being struck again and again with lightning.
