A lightning storm does not have to be close either. Lightning strikes can occur something like 10 miles from the storm. Noone should be at the waters edge with a thunderstorm in action, nothing is worth that. I don't care if you are fishing with a rubber rod, take a look down the beach and then at the water, not much around that is taller than yourself. sorta like standing in a open field, but worse........just get to steppin
