Best Answer

Lightning can reach the interior of a structure in two ways : an ionized airflow or a conducted charge. The airflow occurrence usually requires two open windows or doors, creating a path through which a lightning strike may travel. This is a rare occurrence. More commonly, lightning strikes a metal roof or siding, or directly hits a telephone or electric wire on the exterior. A high voltage discharge flows through interior wiring, reaching persons or machines inside the building. For this reason, traditional wired phones can be more dangerous in a storm than cordless or cellular devices. A controlled form of "lightning" can be created indoors using a Van De Graaff high-voltage charge generator. (see the NOAA and Van De Graaff related links)
