Default Lightning Strike

Could it be that by leaving the pump on during an electrical storm

Perhaps having the pump plugged in grounded the pond and with dry dirt
it was the only thing really well grounded?

Do people have lightning rods around there? I'd get one if I were
you. Don't count on 'lightning never striking twice...'.
