Back around 2000, I was with a group of people at an observatory up in the mountains, which we'd reached by ski-lift-gondola, after some discussion about whether the weather was turning thundery and we should cancel it because we might get stuck there for the day which would mess up our schedule. Years back, I worked with one fellow who survived a lightning strike. See where the storm is relative to your position, what direction it is going, and how fast it is moving. However, this is not true. The distance should stop the lightning from traveling between both of you. Many thinks erroneously that after they installed a Whole House Surge Protector everything else would be fine, That Whole House Surge Protector might be able to clamp a sudden surge from the outside, but the respond time often isn't fast enough to save the delicate electronic devices connected to the wall sockets, What you really need is a layered approach --- getting a Whole House Surge Protector to clamp a _lengthy_ surge from the outside, while still attach your delicate electronic devices to surge protectors with fast response (something like in the nano-second range) that plug into the wall sockets. Most people dont realize that they can be struck by lightning even if the center of a thunderstorm is 10 miles (16 kilometers) away and there are blue skies overhead. This was 1991 I belive. However, electronic equipment may be damaged in the car. Nearly ten times as many people die drowning every year as get struck by lightning (including non-fatal strikes).

Men are also five times as likely to be struck by lightning, either fatally or non-fatally, than their female counterparts. Many people are aware of that. Something breaks and your body just doesn't deliver energy to the muscles properly any more, including the brain. For more,head over to our lightning safety module from NOAAs National Weather Service. Often their friends and relatives will tell them that riding a motorcycle means that they will invariably die. Yeah, I hear they get really amped up about the experience. This is a significant reason why 90% of lightning strike victims survive (the skin's lower resistance being another), and why execution through electrocution is nowhere close to being an instant process. But sometimes people can get off guard. So a motorcycle will not protect against a lightning. Downmoding such a comment, I'm sure, actually bespeaks ignorance or violation of the terms of modding! Just install a power conditioner at your intake and call it a day if your power is that shitty. An enclosed building with wiring and plumbing is the safest place to be during a storm. Maybe the lightning did have some effect Stop this shit, academia.
