Yeah, I find that very few people tend to educate themselves on storm/lightning safety. Especially if they don't live in an area that is prone to severe weather.

If it has not already happened I think we see a chaser killed by lightning soon. In fact chances of this death for a chaser are much higher than by a tornado.
I was stunned watching a US chase DVD a few months back where a chaser a few cars in front the photographer actually climbed higher onto his car to get a better view - this was June 12 I think. There were numerous close CG's around. Frankly I would have risked getting closer to the tornado than climbing the car, at the least there is some more predictability with the tornado.

I agree Michael.
Has anyone got photos of lightning damage to a vehicle? I have often wondered just how much damage a good lightning strike could do to a vehicle.
