> The data collection indicated a worrying series of fatal accidents in Brazil, all concentrated in five months. The recurrence of these accidents in rural regions and the intense sound of the discharge reported by witnesses indicate the proximity and intensity of the lightning during the accidents.
So, rural areas without lightning rods nor any other safety mechanism. Good study that can save lives by taking prevention measures in rural areas in developing countries. But it will probably not affect anybody living in New York.

Maybe not in NY, I wouldn't know, but near as I can tell no U.S. state requires the installation of lightning rods in rural areas.
