Want to throw out as a fact that 17 homes with LPS have been hit by lightning with little damage? Okay, then explain to me why, with an observed ratio of 1:20 LPS to unprotected, there haven’t been over 300 homes burned to the ground in the same period. Either LPS homes are being hit disproportionately or non-LPS homes are being hit with no damage. Either way the statistics give me something to consider before giving up the next cruise (are they really that inexpensive?).
Yes, there are some very reasonable cruises and you can make your own decision as I said earlier in "you do you". When others elect this system, they deserve the same option without derision. The odds may be against a direct strike but the odds are there that it can happen too.
