That is why one of the safest places to be in lightning is a car, because the tires use the ground as a "ground" (no pun intended) and gets rid of the electricity.
That is so wrong Jervin (IMO)... The tires are rubber so they are a resistor. They don't even conduct electricity. The safest place is a car because the metal frame will absorb the lighting, and none will get into the saloon itself.
ya, we are currently under blizzard conditions with thunder and lightning, and its not just one or two, its as common during this blizzard as it usually is during a thunderstorm... i think im gonna stay inside today anybody else feeling this central blizzard?
