I have sat right underneath a lightening rod when it was hit, corporate office Boca Raton, top floor.

You won't mistake the sound, if you are in the house, or next door.

yes, it is very random. .

first business trip to Ft Lauderdale, staying in a hotel at night, watching the news
a woman was hit/killed by lightening pushing her shopping cart out to her car at Sawgrass Mills.

very, very very low probability, totally random events are something the human brain can't really deal with very well, as one can see with all the postings. . . and thinking that it can't happen to me or you for some reason is one of the signs. .

across the street a giant oak can also hit our house and damage it to be uninhabitable. . its a risk, but also a risk I am willing to take at the moment.

good luck to what ever your decision is. .
