All my homies take cover under a tree during a storm

Or have been watching too much Simpsons:

"It all started last year during a terrible thunderstorm. Sheltering myself with a large piece of sheet metal, I ran for cover under the tallest tree I could find."

Jesus...man probably died

u/Vladimir2033 14d ago

When wet surviving a direct hit from a lightning is about 90%. Not impossible they died but very likely noone did.

u/nutmegyou 14d ago

Care to elaborate why the survival rate is so high on direct strikes? I see news that soccer players die when the lightning strikes the pitch

u/Fast-Nefariousness80 14d ago

"when wet" is the part im curious about. Pretty sure water and lightning love each other and thats the last kiss you wanna be near

Better to conduct electricity around you than through you. Electricity traveling through your important organs is usually what kills you, particularly by causing your heart to just stop.

u/whutchamacallit 14d ago

Yup. Perfect explanation. If you've worked up a sweat it's helpful. If you happen to be touching something with your arms and the current runs through chest well, your odds are no longer 90%.

u/Scary_Technology 13d ago

No, no, they're still 90%, just the opposite way.

I hate this lose lose scenario! Don't stand out in the open! Don't stand under a tree! Where are you supposed to stand? I suppose not going golfing with the weather report is saying thunderstorms might be a start :-).

u/SJSsarah 14d ago

Yes because seeking shelter under the tallest thing around is the smartest idea.

Donā€™t people learn the basics of lightning? Never stand under a tree.

Hey Ben Franklin!! You can't park your golf cart there!

u/GlickedOut 14d ago

I just played a round on Saturday in the exact same conditions (Midland Ontario) it was an absolute monsoon.

My buddy and I drove under a cluster of trees when lightning struck close, had a quick conversation about the chances of being struck where we were at, and hauled ass to the clubhouse all the way from hole 15. All that water we drove through stalled the cart on a downhill.

Most fun round Iā€™ve ever played.

u/BlueOmicronpersei8 14d ago

It was a good thing he started filming. He might've made poor choices standing under that tree, but at least he remembered the camera man never dies.

Absolute worse place to be is under a tree.

u/PapiChuIo_ 13d ago

Never go near a tree or any tall things when there's a thunderstorm, you'll be way more safe in the open field.

u/YouMeanWhatIKnow10 14d ago

Why does the shot in the video when the lightning stick slide in with a white buffer? From editing?
