I was coming back from a greater distance, while a thunderstorm begun. As I reached my village near the spawn, one roof of my fishing huts whas destroyed.
The good news of this - the lightning rod on this shack was still alive! Only the kelproof was destroyed.
I am not sure, this happend in 20w48a or 20w46a. I don't see the fire, only the destoyed roof.

ok, then I have misunderstood this:
Keep your builds safe (well, as long as the closest area around the lightning rod is fireproof) during thunderstorms!

How big is the range of the closest area around the lightning rod?
Thank you for your report!

The lightning rod attracts lightning. If you put it on something flammable, the lightning will strike the rod and set the flammable thing on fire.
