My mobile home has a metal roof. The steel frame underneath the house is anchored to the cement foundation using steel cables. If my house ever got struck by lightning, would this be sufficient? Or do I need a special copper grounding rod?
Thanks for helping me not to die.
Lightning protection for metal roofs

I think most codes require a ground rod anyway for electrical purposes.
I really wouldn't worry much about the lightning, but more about the wind that usually accompanies it.
