[Strawbale] re. lightning

And if you have an external antenna hooked to the phone the danger is even 
worse. Twice I have had a lot of static electricity jumping between my skin 
and the cell phone while it was hooked to the external antenna and under a 
highly charged black cloud.

Even though this may sound like not have anything to due with SB I have been 
very attentive to lightning issues since planning to live in an SB house. 
The fire ratings are very low but just the thought of a bolt plowing through 
my bales concerns me.
