Chances of you walking outside and being struck by lightning is more likely than your house being struck with trees that are higher etc. Up north my neighbor, who is a musician, and wears metal nose and ear piercings got stuck by lightning twice the same day while walking home. Just a small strike but the piercings burned him. Since then he decided to get tattoos to look “cool” instead.
