Default Food for thought...

We are also pretty new to The Villages (St. James) and respect the lightning here in Florida since we only moved an hour north from Wesley Chapel. We were also approached by the lightning rod man and declined. Our neighbor took advantage of the $750.00 offer and had the rods installed. She later had an electrician come to do some work and he pointed out that since she was the only one in our neighborhood with the rods, it would most likely attract a strike, if one were close. She had the lightning rods removed and said it was an expensive lesson learned. Just food for thought...
