A rooftop antenna, while well-suited for receiving television signals, can also draw lightning in inclement weather. A lightning strike to a TV rooftop antenna can be dangerous, both to the antenna as well as to the electronic equipment connected to it.
When lightning strikes a tree or other object, much of the energy travels outward from the strike in and along the ground surface. This is known as the ground current. Anyone outside near a lightning strike is potentially a victim of ground current.ide Flash. A side flash (also called a side splash) occurs when lightning strikes a taller object near the victim and a portion of the current jumps from taller object to the victim.
