I thought about lightening rods and did the math. About one house a year in The Villages burns from a lightening strike. I think there must be about 50,000 homes in The Villages, so the odds are that my house will burn from lightening (being conservative) less than once every 40,000 years. Since fire from lightening is insured, lightening rods, even if they are 100% effective, appear to be a really expensive insurance.
