I finally put up the lightning Rod on the roof today and connected all the wires to an earth rod in the ground away from the house. So I hope this works. I was wondering while doing it, that maybe it would atract the lightning. I will have to read up on it some more.

HI DAVID,
LUNA HERE…. I FOUND THIS BIT OF INFO FOR YOU HOPE IT HELPS BUGBOY
To this day the lightening rod itself is used as a metaphor for a person or a thing that invites controversy. Franklin made only one mistake with his lightning rod. It seems that the pointed rod actually attracts lightning. Tesla would later improve the rod by giving it a blunt end, making a strike less likely, but still drawing off the charge.
