At any rate, he said that all of the homes in that area have lightning rods installed, so this house that was hit did have lightning rods on it. However, lightning did not hit the rods...
Kinda makes you wonder...

The home that was destroyed in Pinellas last month DID NOT have a lightning protection system. None of the nine homes destroyed by lightning in the last 10 years had lightning protection nor did the home that was destroyed in the Fairways subdivision about 600 ft outside The Villages. We have heard from 12 homeowners with lightning protection who told us they took a direct hit without damage. This is consistant with the history and research over the last 262 years.
