Lightning Fallacies Are Investigated Is lightning hot or cold? What are some of the com mon fallacies about lightning? Where are you safest during an electrical storm? These are a few of the questions about lightning that should be of interest to all homeowners. A bolt of lightning may be either hot or dold. A hot strike last up to one-tenth of a second, is highly charged and sets fire to inflammable materials in its path. A cold strike is faster than a hot strike and has an explosive rather than flammatory ef fect. There are about twice as many cold strikes to ground objects as hot strikes. Because of the powerful charge in a bolt of lightning (as high as 100,000,000 volts) and its erratic behavior, there has always been much con fusion surrounding this phenomenon. Like lightning never strikes twice in the same place. The fact is that the Empire State Building in New York City is hit as many as 40 times a year. Will a grounded television antenna provide protection for my family and my house? Does metal siding make a building more attractive to lightning? A grounded television antenna will not protect you and your house. Even if pro perly grounded, antennas pro vide only partial protection. The aerial must be tied into a conventional protection system to be effective. The type of house cover ing makes little difference. The important thing is to have the home protected by an approved arresting system. Where are the safest places during electrical storms? The safest places during electrical storms are about in this order: a building with complete lightning protec tion; a continuous steel frame structure, properly grounded; on an ocean-going ship; a large closed boat; in an air plane; or in a closed automo bile. If your house has no pro tection, the safest place is 'in the middle of a room away from all metal objects. Avoid using the phone; dont stand in an open doorway, open window or at the kitchen sink. The source of my informa tion about lightning comes from a booklet prepared by "The Lightning Protection In stitute," 2 North Riverside Plaza, Chicago, III. 60606. I have given the essentials but you may wish to have more detailed information. If so, write the Institute for the booklet mentioned.
