BTW, in the sake of public information: If you are caught out in the wide open in a thunderstorm, hunker down in a crouch on the balls of your feet, tuck your head down as far as you can and put your hands over the back of it. Don't lie down, you need to minimise your contact with the ground to reduce the damage if you are struck. I remember reading that in a survival book years back, and was pleased to be able to remember it a couple of years ago when I found myself cycling over a moor road, the highest thing for miles, with lightning coming ever closer. When it came down in the field to the left, I reckoned it was time to get off the bike... (I stood it on its kickstand and moved a few yards away - hunkering down then made me shorter than the bike...) I had to stay like that for about 5 minutes, while the storm passed over. And all I could think was, if I get struck by lightning, my Mum'll never let me go anywhere, ever again...
And wet, I've never been so wet, even in the bath....
