A direct lightning hit will not be stopped and/or redirected by a 10 inch antenna on your roof.






An average bolt of negative lightning carries an electric current of 30,000 amperes (30 kA), and transfers 15 coulombs of electric charge and 500 megajoules of energy.


What is the documented track record of successful prevention??





Good Luck.
