lightning safety
I unload GE Windturbine components and erect them. The metal cans that make up the towers are lightning magnets so to keep the work crew safe, we utilize the lightning detectors to keep us all safe on the ground.
It also gives us time to evacuate the erected wind turbine. Last August, 07, lightning struck one blade and punched a hole the size of a soccer ball on the blade. It still kept on turning after the tower was reset for faults.
