Question:

Can iron fertilizer attract lightning to a tree?

I've got a maple tree that's maybe 8' height which has always been chlorotic due to iron deficiency, which is common around here. I've been pouring chelated iron around the tree but decided to pull out all the stops this summer and bought a root feeder with refills specifically for iron. So maybe 2 weeks ago, I watered/fertlilized the crap outta that tree, and now a couple days ago lightning strikes the tree and blows bark all over my yard. This is a newer neighborhood so all the trees around are more or less the same height, and few to none are as tall as a house. Is it actually plausible that I put so much iron into the ground around that maple that I turned it into a lightning rod?

Answer:

19 radioisotopes of americium have been characterized, with the most stable being 243Am with a half-life of 7,370 years, and 241Am with a half-life of 432.2 years. Americium-241 is the most prevalent isotope of americium in nuclear waste. Americium-241 decays by alpha emission, with a by-product of gamma rays. Its presence in plutonium is determined by the original concentration of plutonium-241 and the sample age. Because of the low penetration of alpha radiation, Americium-241 only poses a health risk when ingested or inhaled.
It's 100% American and only slightly radioactive.

The alarms refer to the type of units that are needed to respond to a fire. For example, a two alarm unit my be a hazmat unit, a three alarm unit might be a highrise unit. So, rather than having the first unit responding to the scene of a fire and calling dispatch requesting 1 hazmat truck, two ladder trucks and a foam tanker, they would say, we need a two alarm and a three alarm unit.
Where there's smoke there's fire with Amercium there'll be no funeral pyre. Don't count the cost with Amercium 241 Look at the savings.
