The only fact that has remained constant about this lightning issue in the 8 years that I have lived here is that this is the lightning capital of the US.
The recent POA Bulletin featured an article about lightning and those homes equipped with CSST gas lines which would give one to pause but for the fact that the recent total loss of the million dollar home was all electric.
There has been contradictory opinions on the efficacy of lightning rods, surge protectors at electrical boxes. By the way I had SECO install a surge protector on my electrical box and now a posters explains that the surge protector did not help him and any claims made appear to return a minimal return
As to the CSST gas lines the question I have is why would TV install such lines when they were well aware of the lightning problem in this area? The answer is because such installation is the least expensive
