Question How does the TM react to lightening strikes?

I'm not sure if this is the right topic to post under, but since lightening is the subject and it is electrical in nature, I thought this is the best place to post. If not, I hope a moderator can move it to the right place.

I'm always finding myself thinking ahead....

So, here I am lying in the nice comfy bed of the TrailManor, snug as a bug, during a storm, wondering what the downfalls are to all this luxurious comfort. Suddenly I realize I am sleeping on a bed that is encased in aluminum... and wondering what would happen if, heaven-forbid, lightening should strike the Trailmanor. I start to rule out the possibility by the fact that there are larger trees around us then the Trailmanor, and lightening usually strikes the tallest object first, but here I am in an all metal container... still not comfortable with the thought that it could happen. So, I realize that the rubber tires (like on a car) are between me and the earth helping to prevent me from getting fried... however (this is what I'm not sure about), the metal stablizing jacks are now linking us directly with the ground.. yikes!! We do have plastic levelers under each of the metal jacks... does this help prevent lightening from frying us?

Hope one of you very wise people can enlighten me (pardon the pun)? Am I just too paranoid?

Thank you,
Brigitte
