Of importance to me is if lightning can cause sufficient damage to a 
properly constructed and protected tower foundation otherwise in good 
condition to render it unsafe for continued service.  So far there are 
no facts in evidence to show a clear and present danger exists to 
properly constructed and protected tower foundations from lightning.  As 
always, I am open to additional factual information.
