A lightning bolt struck the newest and tallest house in our Wolfeboro neighborhood. It hit the porch and destroyed one entire side. The structural wood that supported the new valley flashing was blown into splinters.
Like at our Wolfeboro summer camp buildings, heavy
copper lightning rods and cables would have directed the lightning to ground. In this new house, however, the path of the lightning bolt followed the new
copper flashing to ground!
