My chances are 1:2,000,000,000,000 I will not be struck by lightning in 2017. In fact I'll probably win a lottery and I know no one :)))))
Lightning rods, best carry a Lightsaber.
There are 200 lightning flashes a second, every second, or half a billion a month since the Earth formed. If it never strikes the same place twice, will Thor have to start looking for moving targets? If so, how good are YOUR chances of making through it to 2017 without getting singed? Any ideas about portable lightning rods?
Lightening can strike in the same place, and often does. As for a personal lightening rod, watch the golfing the rain scene from Caddyshack.
If I'm outside on a stormy day, I just make sure that I'm standing next to someone taller than me.
Hi Didge,
Ima add that to my list of things to worry about. ALREADY I realized that since I have never been struck by lightning before, my name is surely about to bubble to the top of Thor's list of prospective targets.
I live in Central Florida, the lightning capital of the US. With the seabreezes blowing moisture in from both the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico storms build up snd then explode every afternoon in the warmer 6 months of the year.
I have actually heard the tv weatherman say that they don't know how many lightning strikes there were during a storm because they had maxed out the counter and they could see new ones happening.
I see no use for a portable lightning rod. As long as there are trees and buildings I should be good.
