We have a ham radio next door and breakers were tripping all day long. Finally, after reading on here that others installed grounding rods, we suggested that to the electrical company and were "poopooed" initially but eventually they actually put in a grounding rod. No more breakers breaking! That said, I have been told separately that it really doesn't do anything for lightening and you would have to put in a lot of them and very deep. And it isn't worth it.
I really do not understand anything about electricity and I don't want to.; I have to understand far too many other things. My brain's hard drive has just so much space and I try to prioritize what I really do need to know. So I am just repeating what I have been told and what I know works for our breakers issue.
