Lightning strikes

Ok folks, question for you! How many lightning strikes does your airline/fleet suffer? The reason for asking we had 3 a/c with damage due to strikes the other day and hardly a week goes by without a report of a strike requiring at least an inspection (and this just on the widebody fleet!)

Our fleet gets hit regularly - sometimes it's a couple of weeks with no hits, other times 3 or 4 times in one day.
Generally it's just a static wick or three and a couple of damaged rivets.
