Answer 7

PLEASE, if you can see lightning striking, even in the distance, it's time to get off the beach, get off the fishing pier, beach your sailboat/kayak/fishing boat, and find shelter. Get into your car or into a building. Wait a while and the storm will often pass.

Answer 8

It shouldn't help, especially against lightning. Oh, and NEVER try it!!!
