I don't go walking on golf courses though - or standing under trees unless there are tall buildings close by. I know about the Darwin Awards.
Nor do you want to be near a lake, or fishing with a graphite pole

My mother is also terrified by lightening as well, but then she has good reason to be. A few years back she was getting something out of her car's trunk during a storm and a bolt of lightening actually struck the ground within four feet of where she was standing!
I was in the house at the time & it the resulting "boom" sounded like the roof was being torn off
Needless to say she won't venture out in such a storm, and I have a healthy respect for them (though I love watching them).
