Lightening Rod Too Low?

This house is not in the best of shape, but it appears if lightening hits, it will only burn the main house. Thank goodness the porch will be saved. Located in Richmond County, VA.

 

Note: The glass balls do not conduct electricity. Their purpose was to break or fall to the ground if there was a lightening strike. Then the owners knew to check the building, rod and grounding wire for damage.
