High metal towers will often draw electrical dis­ charges from clouds passing low overhead. So will espe cially tall buildings. Since the electrical charges of clouds are attracted by the nearness of high grounds, like transmission towers, these towers often pull the light­ ning that would otherwise discharge later elsewhere. If you live in the vicinity of very tall buildings or high metal towers these struc­ tures will act as the old light ning rods-draw the lightning and ground it harmlessly. The tendency of these tall towers to attract lightning is recognized to an extent that builders install special lightning devices to carry off the frequent bolts that strike them. During a lightning storm stay away from such structures, tall trees and high objects which 'might suddenly become a ground for electrical discharge from the clouds.
