It is more likely for a person to be struck by lightning while standing below a tall tree because lightning seeks the highest point to strike, and tall trees are more likely to attract lightning due to their height. Additionally, tall trees have a higher chance of being struck because they are more likely to be hit by the downward leader from a lightning bolt.
What if lightning struck down and you had a lightning rod on top of your house?
It may strike the lightning rod. A properly installed lightning rod will prevent a lightning strike from setting your house on fire, at least for the most part. The energy of the bolt is carried by the rod and the ground wire. This system "contains" the electric current by offering it a low resistance path to ground. If lightning strikes a tree, a power pole, or a house, it travels through the tree, pole or house. This high current can super heat that wood or other materials and cause them to explode or burst into flames. Damage will result, and very possibly a fire. The lightning rod minimizes the chances of extensive damage and fire in the event of a strike on a house.
