[TowerTalk] Lightning Strikes (For what its worth)

[Alan C. Zack]

There was a picture in yesterdays Las Vegas newspaper showing the 
Stardust Casino sign blown apart by a lightening strike.  This is the 
smaller Stardust sign, maybe 30 ft high, right on the Vegas strip with 
many tall buildings all around.  No one knows why the lightening 
decided to attack that particular sign.
