Fortunately, I never got caught in a mountain storm. I have no idea where one would go on a switch back with rock on one side and a deep drop the other. When caught in heavy T'storms on rural Midwest roads I pull as far off the road as possible and wait it out. The growth of no-till farming has led farmers to cut down most of their wind break trees presumably selling the hard wood to make ends meet in bad seasons and increasing acreage. Spring through mid-summer that means I am by far the tallest thing around. So far at least, I have not been hit by lightning.
