abstract = "The physical mechanism of lightning attachment to grounded
structures is one of the most important issues in lightning
physics research, and it is the basis for the design of the
lightning protection systems. Most of what is known about the
attachment process comes from leader propagation models that are
mostly based on laboratory observations of long electrical
discharges or from observations of lightning attachment to tall
structures. In this paper we use high-speed videos to analyze the
attachment process of downward lightning flashes to an ordinary
residential building. For the first time, we present
characteristics of the attachment process to common structures
that are present in almost every city (in this case, two buildings
under 60 m in S{\~a}o Paulo City, Brazil). Parameters like
striking distance and connecting leaders speed, largely used in
lightning attachment models and in lightning protection standards,
are revealed in this work.",
