You can find statistics for anything...

It wasn't the point to tell people what they should or shouldn't do. I found it interesting and thought I would share it.
About lightning protection equipment: I had an electrician install surge protectors in my electric box last year. Step one: They frighten you by telling you that all of your appliances can be destroyed by lightning. Step two: They tell you, after they start the job, that there's no guarantee it will work in the case of a massive strike.
The sales pitch came after I called him for another job that was unrelated to the surge protectors.
I have lived full time in central Florida for about 45 years and in all that time I have never had any lightning protection. What did I lose? One old microwave oven.
