John, on any given garden-variety thunderstorm, the chances of being struck are extremely low. (This not true for vigorous storms, that can produce amazing and terrifying amounts of lightning strikes, along with other dangers that Joel described.) But to get struck by lightning has devastating consequences http://www.harkphoto.com/light.html Simple risk analysis would suggest that it is not perfectly rational to ignore small probabilities with huge consequences. The idea behind this post was to give folks some information to make informed decisions.
