The proper diameter of a lightning rod and the wiring that leads to the ground can take on any bolt of lightning known to the human race. It can be built so that it should last 100 years. The limitations is that it costs a bunch of money. The Achilles heel is the conductor wire going to the ground. It is sometimes accidentaly cut during construction and maintenance. If the wind is going to blow something apart it is the connection of the wire to the rod or where it is connected to the ground. It is not too likely and is solved by a simple test just before rainy season by the maintenance crew.
a messy bun in the middle (not low or really high) and a pouf
lightning rods work very well do not think they have any limitations
They will not deflect meteors or flying saucers.
How deep they are grounded, the thickness and the resistance of the type of metal, how tall it is off the building so it will be more likely to strike it instead of the building, ect. ect
