[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1511166, member: 3162"] My house is up on a fairly high hill. I just figured my occasional strikes were do to location. The light pole is grounded and it gets hit regularly. Blew out a pole transformer once and we found discs for 100 yards. My well is 300 plus feet and a perfect ground. It too has been zapped a couple of times. The charge is looking to go to ground. If you have good grounding sources, its a lightening magnet. I have considered a 40 foot flag pole with having copper wire in the core, tied to the well casing. Maybe it will protect my house etc. But there are people who tell me this will only encourage strikes. [/QUOTE]
