Who
Needs Lightning Protection?
Lightning can strike
anywhere and do millions of dollars worth of damage. Lightning
is to blame for more deaths and property loss than tornadoes, hurricanes,
and floods combined. And although we cannot yet predict where lightning
will strike, there are some factors that increase the risk of a lightning
strike. If your home or business meets 5 or more of the following criteria,
you are in a high risk group.
- has had previous
lightning damage
- is located in
an isolated, open area
- is located on a
hill
- located near a
large body of water
- is located in an
area that has a high number of thunderstorms
- has tall trees
overhanging the roof
- has metal, brick
or stone chimney brick
- has metal ridge
vent
- has aluminum siding
- has no surge protection
As
homes and businesses use more sensitive electronic equipment, it might
be a smart idea if every building has a lightning protection system. This
would prevent millions of dollars spent in replacing or repairing damaged
equipment.
