When you have a billion or so volts of electricity searching frantically 
from ground, it doesn't really matter. You can put them all in to have 
the barn completed taken out or you can leave them out to get picked off 
one at a time or you can have it hit the ground near them and travel 
from the ground up into them and get them that way.

It's a low probability event most places but it seems to come in spurts. 
Two years ago there were five horses killed by lightining within 5 miles 
of me.
