One is amazed seeing near every house and building several high lightning conducters. The high regions of South Africa and Lesotho have amongst the highest lightning strikes per square km. per annum in the world: such as 6-7 / 12-14 flashes/sq. km. yearly.
A direct or indirect lightning strike within a 1,5km radius of premises can generate 120 million volts and up to 180.000 Amps, sending lethal surges ripping through power cables and telephone lines. The core temperature of a lightning strike is 20 000 degr. C (five times as hot as the surface of the sun).
