It seems like 29 is high, but also there are thousands of homes in those 4 villages

Current village has had one strike in 2.5 years, with roof damage, requiring repairs. No idea if insurance was involved.
That's correct because the strikes that you are talking about are not reported and are not in the newspaper. Same with induced power surges you are talking about. They happen all the time but are never reported.
