If you notice nearly every old building has lightening rods. Some have complex lightening grounding systems in addition to it. Maybe they knew something +80 years ago that we forgot to add to our structures as we build them.

If you put up lighting rods, they attract lightning where it might not be attracted before. Many Good salesmen used to sell “fuses” that would blow when the building was hit by lightning. Every year the salesman would come by, check the “fuses” and show the farmer the lightning rod worked and sell him expensive replacements.

Now if the fuse was blown, the rod attracted the lighting the shortest path for the electricity is some where else in the building, not directly to ground, what happens?

Another sounds good until you think about it............... Lighting rods have their place and use but not every where.
