In the late 80s I worked in a low cluster of buildings, each of which was topped with a band of vertical ridges spaced about 4" apart (sort of like a corrugated roof, but with vertical corrugations). One day a thunderstorm came through

I saw the title and thought it was about Boston's John Hancock Tower, which also had to be reinforced before it (theoretically) fell down.

An insulator made of multiple materials will have the breakdown voltage of the weakest material. So, glass fibers in some sort of resin will break down at the resin's voltage, not the glass's.
