Lightning rods have been used for over 250 years. They simply give a potentially disastrous lightning strike a safe path to ground. See Dr. Martin Uman's book, The Art and Science of Lightning Protection in The Villages Library. None of the 8 home destroyed by lighting in the last decade here in The Villages had lightning rods.
