is there an increased risk of lightning strikes to buildings with metal roof? this property has a history of lightning strikes.	Guest User 12/18/2007	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/10679/find/
No. Lightning always strikes the highest point. Having a metal roof will not affect this. If your roof is the highest point, you may want to consider installing a lightning rod. The good news is that if lightning did hit your house, a metal roof would actually help because of being fire resistant. also check out http://www.metalroofing.com/v2/content/mra101/flash.cfm	Nate Libbey 12/19/2007	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/10680/find/
