"In one volt of lightning you can get up to 30 million volts going through, which would pretty much devastate your house when you think that an outlet only has 110 volts," Weik added.

Well, his grasp of the difference between electrical potential (volts) and electrical current (amperage) is a little shaky, but he does have a point in that it might not be a good idea to live in a house in the Midwest without a lightning rod. We don't really need them here in California.

Perhaps he meant one "bolt" of lightning?

Yeah, the article is full of mistakes like that.
