  • How to stop lightning from hitting your house is a question that has puzzled homeowners for generations. While there is no foolproof method, there are some steps you can take to reduce the risk of your home being hit by lightning. One important step is to make sure your roof is in good condition and that any missing or damaged shingles are repaired. You should also keep trees and bushes trimmed away from your house, as these can provide a path for lightning to travel from the ground up to your roof. If you have a metal roof, make sure it is properly grounded, and install lightning rods if necessary. Finally, have a properly installed and functioning lightning protection system.
