    Don't laugh. Here in Florida, we do need to throw away a lightning rod
    after it has been hit. Our "ground" is composed mostly of sand. The
    lightning melts the sand around the end of the lightning rod and creates a
    glass insulator around it. Such a lightning rod won't work again and has to
    be replaced.
