Re: Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me

Grounding experiences, from my commercial radio days, says to not take the equipment ground to the electrical panel ground.
The problem is that if your radio antenna or equipment ground is better than the provider ground, lightning will travel from the
electrical wiring feeding the house to your equipment ground.
We ran into this at remote tower sites as well.? If we grounded the tower and equipment it would always get hit but
if we didn't ground the tower and equipment there was no "ground" for the lightning to flow to.
When we had a building with a grounded tower we never tied to the commercial ground as the tower ground
was always better than the panel ground and would draw lightning from the distribution lines to the tower ground.
Just a thought.
