[BC] Lightning

[Mario Hieb, P.E.]

I know I sound disagreeable too much of the time...

But I respectfully disagree about lightning...

Improperly designed lightning systems have killed people, destroyed 
property, etc. I believe that in Florida, a lightning systems design must 
get stamped along with other electrical designs.
