Lightning will always have a tendency to strike:

1) The highest object around, and

2) The easiest path to ground.

A high, metal antenna is a perfect path for lightning.

Lightning can strike antennas because they are tall and metal structures that provide a direct path for electrical discharge to the ground. The metal in the antenna can conduct the electrical charge from the lightning strike, helping to protect the structure from damage.
