It's just statistics..... A relatively high number of strikes on a relatively small number of homes has to have some explanation.
1. There is 100% correlation with lightning hits causing fires - with homes with no LPS.

2. There is 100% correlation with lightning hits and no fires - with homes with LPS.

3. LPS does not attract lighting because there are numerous examples of surrounding trees untouched by lightning while the nearby shorter home was hit ... and examples of surrounding homes with LPS but the the home in-between with no LPS was hit.

4. Every building (except the radio station) at the Villages' Lake Sumter Town has LPS, because who ever designed that town was LPS educated.
