speaking of lightnings, does /AN/ have any advice about when you are jogging a few miles away from home and it suddenly hits lightnings really close? Is it regarded as safe if you are jogging along the trees? I mean like not jogging out in the plain fields waving your arms or anything.

can it hit you even if there are higher trees close around you? since you wear sneakers it shouldnt be too bad if it hit anywere not all too close right? like, it could hit right next to you but still not close enought that it split and hit you in the air

Anyone here ever been hit by lightning?

I was once almost hit by what felt like a really big lightning. I was walking on a construction area, with one of those big cranes. Im not sure if it hit the crane itself, but when I walk close by I could feel a very humid and static feeling, then a major bang and lightning around me, and I was walking on some iron-mesh they use in concrete. But I wasn't injured, except slightly shaky afterwards.

The thing to remember is that all electricity, including lighting, always travels along whatever path(s) provide the least resistance.

If you were standing near a tree, then most likely the lightning would hit the tree instead of you because the path through the tree would mean less resistance.

Your sneakers wouldn't matter at all. Lightning is millions, if not billions of volts. It can travel through the thin rubber sole of your sneaker. However, if lightning were to strike near you, then shoes or no shoes you'd probably be fine. The electricity wouldn't travel into your body because that'd just be a detour away from the least-resistance path--mathematically that would be the same thing as a rock suddenly rolling uphill. As long as YOU aren't part of the least-resistance path then you'll be fine.
