Lightning will always strike any elevated ground feature, and especially if it is slender and/or pointed. The elevation goes along with the reduction of distance (electric potential) from the ground to a charged cloud. Slender verticals and pointed ends greatly increase the intensity of the electric field. This is the whole principle of a lightning rod.
Even something modestly tall. There have been cases where people walking across open golf courses have been struck by lightning, as they create a local intensity of the Earth's electric field. (No point in trying to run across open spaces. The speed of electricity makes it as though you were standing still.)
It's a terrible temptation. "I think I can make it from this tree to the clubhouse before lightning can strike me." How many people would think that way? Too many.
What do they all have in common?
They are all TALL POINTY BUILDINGS.
Lesson: Don't be a tall pointy building.
a warning to all the pepes with the freedom boner....keep it out of the lightning
Howls. Good one.

Oh okay. Anything tall. All right.

You cannot outrun lightnings. Howls.

Here is the key, if you cannot outrun a dog, you cannot outrun electricity. Howls.
A good start!

God's work.
And NO ONE cares.
I do. Look at just a tiny fraction of these verses. I am not talking about Zeus either.
2 Samuel 22:13
Job 36:32
Psalm 29:7
Luke 17:24
I am waiting too. Reading the Book of Enoch. It's surely interesting.
