If you have an opportunity to go to any of the presentations on Lightning given at rec centers, go and listen. When I heard these two men were going to give a presentation on lightning to our village group, I thought ..oh this is going to be a pitch for their company.
They don't have a company. They are two villagers who became interested in lightning after they witnessed seven homes burnt down from lightning in the past eight years. They consulted the University of Florida at Gainesville who has a department that studies ligntning and its effects.
They bring a lot of useful knowledge about being safe and get no monetary gains for their presentations. They don't have a lightning protection company...they just know lightning.

jmo but 'snake oil' comes to my mind when i read that people spend all that money on something that really isnt a thing one should worry about. i wonder if there is a survey on native floridians vs former yankee residents who purchase this program.
