@gnuman1979 Aside from the obvious "seek shelter immediately" advice, here's what the CDC says you are supposed to do if the air around you becomes charged like this.
@gnuman1979 Wow! I never knew and I'm in my 30s! I was always told to never swim in a storm, or stand under a lone tree. But I never knew the air got charged like that. How scary but also a good, obvious warning sign. Unless your bald I guess...
@gnuman1979 Nature's way of telling you you have voltage. So go inside before you have amperage.
@gnuman1979 I would lay on the ground until after the strike. Plug my ears too.
