I got a telephone call from the electrical inspector involved with both of those CT lightning strikes. They did not make the papers, but they were very real, he says. The bonding was done per code, and the damage was definately due to lightning. He described the arc burns on the building. Wow!!
I believe him, as he is a respectable inspector and was a local electrical contractor for years. He delivers seminars in CT on electrical code. Very knowledgable.
I wonder how bonding the connections to the black iron is going to solve this problem???
