> it's one of those "avoiding this activity for an hour could prevent you from dying painfully" things

If you do this often enough, for extremely unlikely scenarios that don't sum up to a meaningful aggregate risk of dying, you might very well have a negative return on investment though. (Time spent worrying about an unlikely sudden death is time you don't spend enjoying life, or at least avoiding a slightly earlier but much more likely death.)

As mentioned before, we don't worry. There's no judgment. It's a simple binary. And we spend the time enjoying the storm that we otherwise would've missed.

As a Floridian not far from a lightning belt world capital, I also never shower (or wash) when lightning is expected. I remember seeing a photograph of a car with a giant orifice where the hood and window were. Extremely rare, faraday and all, but I've seen some strikes that dignify paranoia and know several people who've lost family to lightning.

I'm more primitive in my safety measures, but that's a pretty cool system you have.

Edit: I also unplug my valuable electronics too, if I'm able. And yes, I've seen all sorts of stuff toasted, from cows to computers.
