Contrary to some urban legends and media reports, electronic devices do not attract lightning the way a tall tree or a lightning rod does.
“It’s going to hit where it’s going to hit, but once it contacts metal, the metal conducts the electricity,” said Dr. Mary Ann Cooper of the American College of Emergency Physicians and an ER doctor at University of Illinois Medical Centre in Chicago.
