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.
Those were all from last two years alone where we had six home burn to the ground. They were in Linden, Sunset Pointe, Winifred, St. Charles, Rio-Grande.
