May I reiterate that in the case study I offered the house is
steel -- roof and sides -- and all is bonded together and will
be well grounded.
Do I need lightning rods along the ridge or does that create
firing points whereas the energy is more likely to wick-off to
ground without a more significant pre-discharge gathering point?
