Right, we go over CSST in our presentations and although it has to be specially grounded a Lightning Protection system is really the only way to redeuce the chances of an issue with it when lightning strikes your home.

Even in the new areas of the Villages where they upgraded the CSST, the manufacturer of the newer CSST still says in writing in their literature that if you live in Floriday, Texas and some other states you should consult with a lightning protection company when you have their product installed in your home.
