Lightning Damage But lightning is dangerous. An average bolt of lightning carries approx. 20,000 amperes of charge; one can well imagine the amount of damage a pulse can do! Such a severe natural electrical force often leads to extensive thermal and physical damage whether it’s a direct strike and one occurring close-by. Besides the property damage and danger to delicate equipment and potential for serious injury, lightning strikes can bring a major disruption in our ability to serve the public. Radio and telecommunications systems damage is the most frequent cause of loss, followed by damage to computers. www.lightningprotection.com
Lightning Damage Lightning damage is more extensive than what you can initially see. For example, when lightning hits your facility, it creates a power surge and this surge runs through your facility and damages everything plugged into the outlets. Secondly, it has the potential to start a fire and thirdly, the sound that lightning creates – shock wave. It has the potential to blow plastered walls, break the glass and even crack foundations. www.lightningprotection.com
