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

The bolded is very much the point. As you articulated in a prior comment, the biggest damage from strikes comes from gas lines being ignited.
If an owner has no gas lines, one rationally assumes that the damage is likely to be much more minimal. Will the Lightening Study Group discuss those kinds of particulars at the meeting on 8/19?
