Lightning Protection: Wisconsin
With agriculture and manufacturing being the driving forces of Wisconsin’s economy, more and more companies and farmers are choosing to install lightning protection systems to protect their product, workers and livestock. Annually, Wisconsin achieved 2,081,049 cloud-to-ground strikes in 2019 alone.
Driving throughout the Wisconsin countryside, many older farm houses, barns, and silos have outdated lightning protection systems that should be brought up to current lightning protection standards. Though any lightning protection is better than no lightning protection, by updating these out of date systems, you are affording the most current protection from lightning to protect your property, you, the lives of others and your livestock.

Lightning Facts!
A lightning bolt can have upwards to 1 billion volts of electricity!
Yes, one billion with a “B.” Put another way, that’s about the same amount of power as 79.4 million car batteries or 666 million AA batteries.
