[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean you NEVER stand under a tree in a thunderstorm - do people really not know this? My 10 yr old knows. I think it needs to be a first lesson to everyone that's really sad people are not aware.[/quote] I grew up in an area with few thunderstorms, so this is maybe something that not all people know. [/quote] I mean I knew that but I was always taught to avoid trees in open fields because lightning will arc towards the tallest object. Lafayette Square is in the middle of the city and surrounded by tall buildings with metal rods. Though I admit a park is an isolated field…maybe there’s some security tech in the tree the lightning went for?[/quote]
