What a shame that Andrew and Ian never learned Rule Number One for Lightning Storms.
It's very tempting to seek shelter under a tree during a storm and fool yourself that "Lightning won't get me." After all, who wants to lie down on the ground in a gale downpour?
Down here in Florida where I have a flock of wild turkeys regularly roaming through my place, I notice that whenever thunder storms come up they get away from the trees, even in pounding rain, and stick to an open meadow with just a little low scrub across the road until it is over.
People used to laugh about turkeys getting soaked like that as if that meant they are stupid, but they have more sense than most people.
They were in the wilderness with vast stretches of trees...
If you’re in the woods, trees may be everywhere.
