Get out of there! I was at a famous light house in RI when we saw a storm developing ~10 miles away. Lighting in the distance was suddenly hitting all over the rocky point. The bolts were hitting the ground and we dropped all our gear and ran. Hid in a low lying area against a concrete/stone wall and lightning was striking everywhere. I had my back against the wall, and hair was standing on end - there was a bright flash and ZAP. My heart skipped a beat and felt like someone hit me in the head with a metal spike. Lightning hit the wall and went through the rebar and then through us. My buddy got zapped through his hand that was against the wall. It was one of the scariest moments of my life.

Gotta respect the lightning storms!
