Hoover Tower, Stanford In December 1970, Hoover Tower was struck by lightning, causing a 300-pound ornamental concrete ball to fall from the top of the tower onto a parking lot. In August 2020 the concrete ball at the tower’s tip was struck down by an electric storm again, scattering into multiple pieces. It was replaced in the year 2021. Workers also used the repair opportunity to affix a lightning rod and install falcon boxes in the iconic tower. 30 Frames of America: Day 2/30
