I had lightning rods or my horse barn and house in SC. One day my barn rods took a direct hit.... my horses were inside. Lightning rods work.

Wearing hazmat suits works to keep toxins from the air away from your skin. It's not likely you'll ever have to worry about that, but it's still a possibility. Do you own a hazmat suit? No? Why not?
If I lived in a barn here in Central Florida, the lightning capital of the country, then you betcha I'd have a lightning rod installed. But the fact that they "work" just doesn't really matter, when you live in a metal-framed metal-roofed manufactured home on cinderblocks that's properly grounded and anchored. The odds that the lightning rod will prevent damage, is almost equal to the odds that the damage will be minimized just fine without it.
