Lightning Flash

I was driving through Auckland last night during some reasonably nasty weather (nasty weather seems to be all the rave in NZ at the moment). The rain was torrential for most of the trip and the plumes of spray behind the cars were being blown sideways.

As I drove over the harbour bridge the lightning started, and by the time I had made it to the Victoria Park viaduct the Sky Tower had been hit 4 times. This was party due to the traffic going at typical Auckland speed, and party because the Sky Tower is always the first thing to get hit when there is lightning.

Some people say the Sky Tower is a target because it's the tallest building in NZ. I prefer to think it's because it's so damned ugly!
Lightning doesn't strike the same place twice? ... unless God doesn't like your architect...
