How does the lightening rod work?

A lightning rod provides a path of least resistance to direct lightning strikes away from a structure. When lightning strikes, the rod's conductive material safely carries the electrical current to the ground, preventing damage to the building. This helps protect the structure and its occupants from the destructive forces of a lightning strike.
