A. Lightning is attracted to metal objects that have a certain vertical density and are grounded; we are neither and cannot be grounded to serve as lightning protection. Hail because of its weight falls straight down. Remember that hail damage to a car is confined to the hood, roof and trunk. The top of our pot, which is not visible from the ground, is subject to hail damage.
