About This Episode
In this episode, E&S Grounding Solutions President David Stockin discusses Part 4 of a 5-part series about lightning strike scenarios and the ways to protect against them. Direct lightning strikes are the fourth and least common scenario that can damage your building. However, a direct lightning strike can be very powerful and cause major damage. The odds of a direct strike to your building will depend on the lightning strike frequency in your area. Due to the high currents, it can start fires in wood structures. It will also cause a large electromagnetic field pulse.
