Using the degree of influence concept, we can conclude that a broadcast tower that is 1,500 feet high is likely to draw a lightning strike that is occuring within a 1,500-foot radius of its antenna tip. Since earthquakes are caused by the buildup and release of tremendous, large-scale forces (from movement of huge tectonic plates that make up the earth's crust), a person jumping up and down on the fault, or even a bomb exploding over the fault, are tiny specks compared to the enormous forces working inside the earth to create earthquakes. The only way a small conductive object like an umbrella would 'attract' a lightning channel is if the lightning already was about to strike less than three to five feet away. What's the etiquette for addressing a friend's partner or family in a greeting card? Metal Roofs and Lighting The misconception that metal roofs attract lightning is probably because metal itself is known as a good conductor of electricity, and people, therefore, assume that a metal roof must attract lightning. The descending stepped leader of a lightning bolt doesn't 'decide what to strike' until it is very close to the ground. The location of the thunderstorm overhead alone determines where lightning will hit the ground. Does history use hypothesis testing using statistical methods? Sometimes it connects to the sides, not the top, of skycrapers. MYTH: Small metal objects attract lightning, and I'm safer outside without any metal nearby. While metal does not attract lightning, it does conduct it so stay away from metal fences, railing, bleachers, etc. This makes any relevance to safety a moot point, as lightning striking within a few feet of a person standing outside is usually just as lethal as a direct hit. At the tip of the rods I put some isolating tape, so that it covers the tip of the rod. Stack Exchange network consists of 176 Q&A communities including Stack Overflow, the largest, most trusted online community for developers to learn, share their knowledge, and build their careers. A tall television broadcast tower or a mega-skyscraper introduces a huge leap in size, and the resultant 'degree of influence', from an umbrella, earring or house. Not because of the umbrella or golf club, but simply because you're outside where the lightning is occurring! Why doesn't a lightning strike destroy the lightning rod? The building has lightning protection on top. To support them, I put a 2 m long aluminum rod into each pot. So is it safe to be outside and wave an umbrella or golf club in the air during a storm? The balcony is a recessed one. Will strong electric field damage electronic components? A metal earring will only attract a lightning bolt that is less than one-half of an inch away! If you are standing at that exact location, you will be hit, even if there's no metal within miles! Conversely, if you are farther than 500 feet from that location, you could wave your golf club or umbrella high in the air, but you won't draw the lightning away, even slightly, from striking where it's going to strike. I'd say that your rods are quite unlikely to be hit by lightning, considering that you are 3 floors down from the top, and there appear to be other metal structure between you and the sky. Damage to electronics from lightning strike at a distance. At the tip of the rods I put some isolating tape, so that it covers the tip of the rod. A lightning bolt that is several miles long, generated by a cloud that is more than 6 to 10 miles high, is not going to be influenced by your jewelry, or even your house. Even at research labs where rocket-triggered lightning is used to test lightning rods, many times the lightning misses the test rods altogether and strikes bare, metal-less ground nearby! It hits in valleys at the base of huge mountains. And your hair beret or necklace will only draw a lightning channel to it if it's less than a couple inches away - in which case the lightning would already be striking you to begin with! For this to happen, it's pretty safe to assume that the step leader would basically have to be on (or very close to) the same horizontal plane as your rods and probably around 60 m away. If you could ask Benjamin Franklin what it is that attracts lightning, he would tell you about the lightning rod. This is because if it were coming from above, then the building's lightning rod would take care of it. This means that for your rods to be struck by lightning, they need to be the path of least resistance within 60 m (or whatever) of the step leader (the searching tip of the lightning).
