[TowerTalk] Lightning protection and a close one

[Larry Loen]

In Arizona, it is positively routine for me to see cloud to ground strikes
where there is no rain.  Now, these do drop directly from clouds, but
still, they are high enough up that (in Minnesota, at least) I would have
not expected to see cloud to ground, especially in the absence of rain,
though there is usually rain "somewhere" in view.

Storm spotters would call the ones I am talking about as "level 3".
