Fun Fact Friday:

Up until the late 18th century it was believed that ringing church bells kept lightning at bay. So much so that many church bells bore the inscription 'fulgura frango', meaning 'I chase lightning'.

During a thunderstorm, dedicated 'bell ringers' would stand on the bell tower and ring the bells in an attempt to stave off lightning strikes. Between 1753 and 1786 in France, 103 bell-ringers were struck by lightning and killed, resulting in the tradition being banned.

Your soil plays a crucial role in your susceptibility to lightning. Most of NC has clay or lots of sand which make it very difficult for ground rods to do their jobs. Our chemical grounding electrodes help solve this issue; one of our rods does the work of 10-15 conventional rods!
