There was a picture in yesterdays Las Vegas newspaper showing the Stardust Casino sign blown apart by a lightening strike. This is the smaller Stardust sign, maybe 30 ft high, right on the Vegas strip with many tall buildings all around. No one knows why the lightening decided to attack that particular sign.

Now, take it easy on me; I don't even have a tower up yet.
I was in NM last week when we watched over 2 hours of
fantastic lightning flashes, many striking the ground.
We say NONE strike any of the 300 foot commercial towers
in the Southern NM desert. I thought that was VERY interesting.
