Can anyone tell me if there are any benefits at all to installing lightening rods? Would we be asking for OR diverting trouble? We see alot of them on old barns in our area, but we're not sure they're still standing because of the rods on the roofs!

I'm no expert on them, but I've heard that (in addition to the obvious benefit of sending lightning to ground), they also have the disadvantage of attracting lightning.
Hopefully there's something else nearby to "distract" lightning.
