I've actually heard this is the best case, have your neighbors put rods up. BUT, if you look at all the buildings in the town squares you'll notice they all have lightning rods installed. The one time lightning did damage to me was when it went into the house thru the TV cable and fried several TV's. This would not have been prevented by lightning rods.
