Golfers get hit a lot. I don’t get why anyone would continue golfing in a lightening situation.
They are quite literally holding a lightening rod up in the air every time they swing at the ball.

Unusual grille on that F-150. That’s not a Lightning, by any chance...?

I have read that Florida has more lightening strikes than any other state.
Yet another reason to not vote for Meatball Ron.

Rubber and that few inches of distance, allows static to be effected and charges as well.
Most survive a hit in a car. You tend to be dry inside that helps you survive.

If the bolt travels into the cells that are Lithium, I don’t want to be around. Heavy gauge wires will conduct both ways !!

"...People think that because the vehicle sits on rubber tires ...." Complete myth, it's got nothing to do with rubber tires. It's because the car's body and chassis is a Faraday cage.
To: Red Badger
A Faraday cage.
No rubber tires were harmed in the making of this photograph.
