[TowerTalk] Lightning strikes

[Warren Wolff]

A few years ago, my grandson and I parked on a hilltop just south of Truth or Consequences NM.  A large row of thunderstorms rolled across the desert below.  The show was great with many strikes hitting the desert floor.  Strangely, not a single strike was observed to any of the microwave towers in the area.  I am thinking these towers exceed 500 feet in height.
