We have had multiple strikes, one to the main house which is new, one to the barn which is quite tall, and the most serious strike was in autumn to a large art studio/workshop building. The person inside the building was injured and is still receiving treatment. The theory as to why our farm and farms around it are sites for frequent strikes, is that there are multiple types of metals in ground rock, and the region is a site of multiple former mines. Other than having each building normally grounded, we have no specialized lightning abatement system, though I am continuing to research them.JaneofVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320442534060401465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-85686719069105499012012-02-25T16:34:05.311-08:002012-02-25T16:34:05.311-08:00Lightning systems work.

Most hits on homes I have seen are actually richochet hits from a nearby strike. Your system (unless you have a steel framed home) will do little for that type of strike.<br /><br />You are better off buying more insurance, or paying off a little more of your mortgage.russell1200https://www.blogger.com/profile/16258915475311426433noreply@blogger.com
