Why does lightning usually strike in empty grounds?

It strikes the nearest (usually highest) point. If there’s a church, tower, tree or anything like that nearby (doesn’t need to be very close) then your house will be safe in the rare event that there’s a lightening strike in the area. Even if it does strike your house, you’ll be safe.
