Seven of the eight homes that have been completely destroyed by lightning in the past eight years have had gas lines running through the attic which is code in either Florida or this area. The one recently burnt I don't know, but Lightning who is a poster here will be able to tell us when he knows.
Lightning, his screen name, is an expert on Lightning, posts on this forum, writes a column in POA newsletter and gives power point presentations on Lightning and is NOT affiliated with any Lightning protection companies.
I think all new construction only has electric and does NOT offer gas utilities, but some people choose to have propane for outdoor kitchens. Something to think about in the lightning capital of the U.S.
