    It’s a usual thing to stay inside during a thunderstorm, like the people in the background do. No wonder so many people get hit by lightning every year.

      Do you take your day off every time there’s a thunderstorm? Or do you arrive soaked at work?

      Some places have very frequent thunderstorms, can’t take a day off for each.

        In fact I go to work by bike over an open field. If there’s thunderstorms, that we have quite frequently, I either shift times around to not get into it or take puclic transport.

        Thunderstorms rarely come by surprise these days.

        Don’t walk in the middle of the street with a metal pole in your hand, at least walk closer to a building.

        It’s borderline insane that this is an argument at all.

        Just go ahead and do what these two people did if it is deemed safe.
