Default run for cover?

Just ponding here... Now i know if it starts lighting, it's time to pack it up and leave. But i just just thinking about some lighting documenting shows i have seen about lighting... and how it seems to come up from the ground abit too... I think? to meet up with the main bolt in the sky, Well I,m just ponding if the electrical magnetism of the md increases the attraction off these legs or bolts of lighting?

If you stay out in it long enough, I'm sure you'll get an answer......you might end up fried to a crisp though finding out.

It's liable to short circuit your batteries, and the detectors too

here on the coast at least 5 people get killed every year with lightning.

If you can HEAR it.
IT CAN KILL YOU.
but it would amaze you how many yankees will stay in a pool after you tell them this... or even worse. the ocean.
