Lightning Protection
This website by a former U.of Fl. scientist who now works full time on the lightning issue is the best I have seen on what lightning does when it strikes an object and how to prevent major damage (marinelightning.com). Interestingly, he claims the scientific evidence indicates that the real problem area for boats is from side flash at the waterline.
I'm no physicist, so he could have this all wrong for all I know. It would be great to hear views from someone more technically able - which isn't saying much!
