I have long noticed the absence of lightening rods on homes here in Hawaii. They would seem cheap and practical on homes with metal roofs.
LIghtening rods (invented by Ben Franklin) are common on the mainland mid-west and east. For some reason, I guess lack of lightening, the pacific states don't require them. After 1,500 lightening started fires in California that might change. That must have been one helluva storm.

Assume the best and ask questions.
