Is it unsafe to walk when its lightning?

Question

its raining and lightning pretty good with a little thunder now and then. is it safe to walk outside or not? i dont really have a reason to HAVE to walk. i just feel like going a couple blocks so i can sleep. is it safe or not?

Answer 1

the odds of you getting struck by lighting is like a hundred billion to one. uinless you happened to be really tall and made of metal, i wouldnt worry.

Answer 2

Yeah it's safe but make sure to stay away from Metal!! hope i could help!!

Answer 3

To answer your question - yes, it is unsafe to walk outside when it is lightning.  Although the odds are against you getting struck by lightning period, your very slim odds are raised by going out into the elements and making yourself a target.  

Just drink some warm milk or something.

Answer 4

It is not likely you are gonna die. It is not the safest thing to do but if you really want to you could but be careful and do not satnd where there is nothin taller then you.

Answer 5

It is not safe especially if you are in the open.  It isn't safe under a tree either.  If you are the highest thing around, chances are much greater you will get hit.

Answer 6

Chances are you wouldn't die, as it's very unlikely you'll ever be hit by lightning, but it's certainly not the safest of conditions.  It's never completely safe to walk around outside if you can hear thunder.  That means you're close enough to the storm to get hit.

Answer 7

if your out in the open your like a lightning rod. thats why so many people die out golfing,fishing,boating etc!
