Staff Cecil Lee Posted April 14, 2013 Staff Share Posted April 14, 2013 Especially on a roof-top of a building; sometimes, it is safer not to have any objects such as a lone tree taller than the building's highest lightning rod.Many a times, I have encountered lighting strikes on tall trees on top of a home or even a penthouse's roof top. Such as shown in the photo.Location: Southaven II condo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted August 24, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 24, 2015 No joke! I have been to several homes where trees or plants were grown taller than the lightning rods. And for those staying at the Waterway Terraces I and II; do avoid being at the roof top on rainy days. Photo showing the roof top of Waterway Terraces I where some of the trees are pretty high-up, there.
