During last Wednesday's storms it dawned on me Smythe Towers was devoid of a Lightning Conductor. We had one about fifteen years ago prior to the old place being repointed. All that's left is the green colouration of the former copper strip used for the purpose of earthing Nature's electronic majesty. Is there anyone out there capable of erecting such a structure and if so how much might it cost? The small tower is some fifty feet high.

Nature doesn't have an electronic majesty! We did that ourselves :)

So what prey is lightning if not a natural phenomomenom?

You said 'electronic'. Lightning is electric.
