The correct, scientific answer is, “no more than any other roofing material.” That’s right — metal alone doesn’t entice lightning any more noticeably than a shingle roof. Regardless of the material, lightning heads for the highest point in a stormy area. That’s why trees and telephone poles are common strike targets. In fact, a metal roof may actually protect you in the unlikely event of a house strike — the metal disburses the charge evenly and can’t catch fire or spark like an asphalt roof might.
