Good to know. Glad I live in a double-wide.
If you don't have gas all that means is if you home is struck by lightning it's less likely to burn to the ground from the subsequent gas fire. It gives the fire department more time to get to your home and prevent it from burning down.

Not having gas does not reduce the risk of your home being struck by lightning.
