[Lightning]

Thanks for your comments. I am pleased that you found the information to be of value in your decision making for your home.

True, the new homes north of 466A are all electric. However, gas pipes have been instaled in 466A and it appears that gas may be used when home contruction begins south of 466A. We have no idea if CSST gas pipe will be installed in the attics.

You are also correct that the chance of lightning striking an all electric home is no different than a home with gas.

I did my due dilligence following the destruction of two homes near me in 2006 and had a LPS installed by a UL "listed" contractor. In my case I got $1000 from the 2007 CSST gas pipe class action lawsuit to offset the cost of the installation.
