Safety From Lightning In Cities

Safety From Lightning In Cities

The fear of lightning is almost universal, but the number of deaths caused by it is small. Dwellers in cities are even safer than those in the country, since statistics have shown that on the average four-fifths of the deaths from lightning occur in rural localities. The innumerable electric wires, the many grounded water pipes, and the metal roofs of cities are undoubtedly the chief elements of their safety in this respect.
