How pure the rainwater even is? Pure water (H2O) doesn't lead
electricity (at least not very well), the usual water you get from tap
ain't pure, it has all kinds of particels within it, including metal
ones. I'd *guess* the rainwater hasn't got as much metal particels as
the water already on the ground and doesn't lead electricity as well.

Anyway, the smart people have calculated that the space between electric
wires is enough, even on hard storms. :-)
