What if you were struck by lightning?

You are in an open field as a storm rolls in. Someone nearby runs for the house. You stay by the fence. Your hair rises, then comes the flash. About 9 in 10 people struck by lightning survive, according to the CDC. Survival can still mean lasting injuries. Hair standing on end and buzzing can happen before a strike, but they are unreliable warnings. Many strikes give no warning like this. Seek shelter as soon as you hear thunder, in a substantial enclosed building or a hard-topped enclosed vehicle. A tree or open shelter will not keep you safe. This field and its people are imagined. The timing is compressed and the distance readout is illustrative, not a way to judge safety. #Shorts #whatif #pov #lightning #storm #weather
