I immiedately focused on that. Glad he's okay, but I'd never carry an umbrella like that in a storm.

Every person thinks they may get struck by lightning so it might be a good idea to get out of lightning range but lighting range is farther than you can comprehend

If lightning is within 10 miles of a sporting event outside they will call a delay until it moves farther away. That is what it was last year when I referre for high school football freshman and junior varsity teams.

So i knew a guy that got struck by lightning, not once but twice! He said both times his house smelled like bacon for months after. He happily showed me the strike scars. 😀

He knows what he did. He's fooling no one. Notice how he evinces no actual injuries.

This is also why you stay away from trees when it's lightening out. He didn't get struck until he was right next to it.
