Neither I nor you have relevance here. Only the science has relevance when one is being logical like an adult. The emotional need to see a face or have some kind of emotional connection. Everything about this topic is openly discussed, well published, is defined by numbers, and can be learned from science even a century ago.

If you want to post insults, then you obviously are a target audience also for talk show wackos who tell you how to feel - who also cannot be bothered with facts and reality.

Topic is clear and obvious - When lightning destroys... When lightning destroys, a human (who is typically so emotional as it even believe advertising) is the reason for that damage. Lightning damage is typically traceable to human mistakes.

Direct lightning strikes without damage are routine when a homeowner spends about $1 per appliance for the superior and easily installed solution. Other similar solution may have averted that pictured damage.

Most here, based upon mockery and denial, clearly are too emotional to learn. And may even foolishly spend tens or even 100 times more money on solutions that do not even claim to be effective. Deny. Too bad. Because they cannot even stay focused on the topic - which was never you nor me nor that wacko extremist who keep posting insults.

Original picture is classic when lightning creates a follow-through current. One can learn from professionals who discuss it. That means discussing the topic. Or one can deny emotionally because they never learned this stuff before. That is what adults do when inspired only by their emotions. Deny. Your choice. Stay on topic. Or waste time on the irrelevant such as who someone is.
