I thought so too..but..

And remember, these guys don't sell Lightning protection and will not give the names of people who do during their very well researched and presented summary of lightning . They are villagers who became interested in the subject when they moved here and found that the University of Florida has done a lot of studies on the subject and have been involved with those educators. You can call them later and they will give you three names of UL contractors but will not tell you who to choose.


According to the expert, Lightning, who was half of the team that gave the presentation, having homes on either side with lightning rods, didn't help several of the houses struck. AND all of the houses that burnt had gas lines.
