Checking on neighbor's place the other day. Noticed a spot on the side of his steel sided polebarn, about the side of a penny. Close inspection - looks like lightning hit one nail on side of barn.

Even taught electrical and electronics on the university level. I have decided lightning makes it's own rules. Why pick on a nail on the side of a steel building, when there's all that metal all around? Weird, huh?
