Question:

there is a fire hydrant literally right across the street from my house?

how close is the nearest one to your domicile?

Answer:

Proper wear of the Army uniform (physical fitness uniform) is a matter of personal pride for all Soldiers. Pride in appearance includes Soldiers' physical fitness.
At the levels of voltage in a lightning bolt, the relativity to ground is irrelevant. Lightning goes for the prominent figure in the skyline. Lightning arrestor rods on the roof with the proper size wiring to ground rods are the only sure method of controlling the direction a bolt will take. Lightning strikes trees, cars(which have rubber tires to insulate), and what ever else stands out. Messing with the wiring of your house could cause a fire. If the lightning does take the path you set out for it, it could start you wiring on fire. household wiring is only rated, at best, to 600 volts. The amperage, depending on what you use, 15 to 20 amps. that's only 12000 watts. that's about 100000 times to small. In the event it does start a fire, and the insurance investigation finds you little experiment, they might not pay. AGAIN, the most attractive thing to lightning is the most prominent thing in the skyline, probably your chimney. That's a good place to start with a real lightning arresting system.
right, right, right, right, right, right, right, dude u over use that word right? it bugs people right?
