dtrs5kprs Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 But you are safe in a car, or in a house (regardless of what it is built from). Hard to figure. Lots of folks have had injuries indoors through plumbing, appliances, even just direct strikes. Lightning scares the bejeebers out of me.
Flysmallie Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Well....anything grounded I always assumed. A wet tree is just begging for it. I dunno, I have a great understanding of DC circuitry but lightning seems to make its own rules. Comparing DC, like you would find on a boat, to lightning is like comparing a hot wheel to a top fuel dragster. There is no comparison. With lightning everything is a conductor. It's going to ground period. And there is nothing that is going to stop that.
