  BTW, lightning is not DC.  Lightning is AC current - mostly in radio
frequency ranges.  This AC nature is why longer conductors, sufficient
for 60 Hz AC electric power, can be poor conductors to lightning; its
energy in higher frequencies.  This AC nature of lightning is why so
many humans think lightning is capricious.
