Our house is all electric, I happen not to like gas, never had it in any house we've had. Just my personal choice. Lived in Tampa for 13 years, have seen lots of big lightning and heard lots of ginormous thunder, but this one took the cake ! The firemen said that it was lucky we were home, when the house is vacant it sometimes is to late by the time the neighbors are aware of anything. Sorry I can't help with any gas questions. And no, our house doesn't have any lightning rods, but we're considering it now. By the way we live in El Cortez so the house is 19 years old. We were told by neighbors that this house had another direct hit about 14 years ago in just about the same place.
