I've never seen an answer on this. I see the lightning rod groupies and the non (which I definitely am) yet I have not seen anyone WITH a rod system that HAS been hit by lightening on that system.

Those are the people I want to hear from. Early in my IT days I worked for an Electrical engineering firm, based on the basics that I learned from those guys these little rods and little cables aren't enough to handle a normal bolt of lightening. If you are one with a rod system and never has been hit, trust me it's NOT because of the rod system, it doesn't work like that.

So where are the ones that have been hit and have the system?
