Best Answer

A cell tower can receive multiple lightning strikes in just one year, but due to the construction, the energy received from the lightning bolt is transferred to the soil at the base of the tower. Cell towers, like any tall metallic object, is a beacon to lightning and the higher the tower is in height, the more susceptible it is to receive the strike.
