What always surprised me is about 1/4 of our working house fires are lightning caused -- up in New England. That's always seemed surprisingly high to me! Might be a little less in recent years, just because for some reason we've had a rash of stupid or something and structure fires are up a bit. My mom was recalling that my grandfather had lightning rods on their very modest home. You don't see them around too much anymore, despite how common lightning fires are. Wow, just wow.
