Here are some pictures of Villagers who decided to take their chances. If your home gets struck by lightning, it will be a life changing experience for you and your family.
I can post thousands of pictures of houses that have NOT been hit by lightning.

And getting this in early, while I believe lightning protection helps, there are too few protected homes around to make the claim that a protection system will guarantee your home will not be affected.

Lighting happens, protection systems help, but suggesting that you are at a high risk of your house burning down without one is an exaggeration.
