What Property Owners Can Learn
Arizona monsoon storms can bring lightning risk to homes, ranches, mountain properties, and commercial buildings.
When lightning hits a building, nearby tree, tower, tank, barn, church, hotel, or commercial property, the damage can include fire, electrical surge, equipment failure, structural damage, and downtime. The goal of these strike report pages is to explain the risk and connect property owners to relevant lightning protection services.
Could Lightning Protection Help?
A properly planned lightning protection system can help provide a controlled path for lightning energy. A complete plan may include air terminals, conductor cables, bonding, grounding electrodes, and surge protection. Every building is different, so the system should be evaluated based on structure type, roof layout, equipment, and grounding conditions.
