Thunder, Lightning....!

[treequip]

I used to be concerned about lightning until I did a job for a boffin that made lightning and blew stuff up with it for a living.

 

Apparently we aren't at any more risk because of the hardware, it's more about the "ionised path", if the tree you are in is due to be hit the it's due to be hit, your presence is pretty much irrelevant to the event.

 

Still it's nice as an excuse to get out of the rain.

Call me a cynic but I'd rather not be up the tree and just waiting to find out if it got hit!! If I am going to get grilled my plan is on it being at a crem in about 50 years time if I've got anything to do with it:001_smile:

Don't sweat it, if you got hit you probably wouldn't even know about it.
