: My son standing next to some sleeping horses… well not really. They were struck with lighting. Anything that grounds you, and sticks a part of you high in the air, increases your chances of being struck. Wide open spots like golf courses, and cleats in your shoes with metal golf clubs… Listen for crackling sounds of static electricity building to either discharge to the air or clouds, or the ground. Hair standing up, equipment buzzing means find a low spot and insulate your self for the ground. just a few pointers.
