Since lightning is attracted to the highest point, not necessarily metal, a metal roof has no greater chance of being hit by lightning than any other type of roof. In the event your roof should be struck by lightning, a metal roof can help prevent your home from catching fire because it can dissipate the electrical charge. More importantly, a metal roof is noncombustible.  more
