Mauna Kea VIS closed for the time being
#7
Your ground rod on the electrical system is the closest thing you will find to a lightning rod. The only problem with lightning is that it has an incredible unknown amperage that your ground rod is supposed to diminish in an event as such.
Cell phone towers have a continuous grounding loop with a wire the diameter of your little finger attached to ground rods spaced out every 6 feet for what they feel is adequate protection, but I have not seen what a cell tower looks like after being hit to see if their thoughts were close.
