Lightning Zones and the Odds of a Strike
The article explains lightning zones where strikes are more likely during storms, noting terrain and elevation affect frequency. It cites forest service guidance, explains tall isolated objects draw more due to height, and mentions Eiffel Tower and Washington monument as examples. It adds that high peaks may still be struck, while very high elevations may shift zones lower on the sides. Fugurites formed by melted quartz are described as evidence of past strikes on mountains.
