Especially on a roof-top of a building; sometimes, it is safer not to have any objects such as a lone tree taller than the building's highest lightning rod.
Many a times, I have encountered lighting strikes on tall trees on top of a home or even a penthouse's roof top. Such as shown in the photo.
Location: Southaven II condo.

No joke! I have been to several homes where trees or plants were grown taller than the lightning rods.

And for those staying at the Waterway Terraces I and II; do avoid being at the roof top on rainy days.

Photo showing the roof top of Waterway Terraces I where some of the trees are pretty high-up, there.

Avoid being at the roof top during rainy days ... lighting strikes
