Back in the 90s my surf partner RJ and I were fishing the mouth of Narrow River. Huge lightning and instant thunder. We're standing in 4 feet of water with graphite rods. Scampered up on shore real quick. That night on the news, 2 guys were hit by the lightening we saw and thunder and KILLED. They were on the West Wall so maybe 2 miles away as the crow flies.
Been in my boat several times with lightening. I immediately head for a shore line where I will NOT be the highest object.
