Re Lightening Say you in a squad car Actually almost a perfectly safe condition (in a metal skinned vehicle), even if you were touching bare metal. It's an effective "Faraday Cage" where an electrical field cannot exist so current cannot be conducted. Ok some further safety recommendations.. lightningsafety.com I watched a TV show where guys used "Faraday Suits" to work in 400 KV conditions on the UK electrical transmission super grid. physics.gla.ac.uk Mind you lightening in the USA used to scare the crap out of me (electical energy just sooo outta control -ng- ). Much worse then the lightening bolts we see in the UK. When thunderstorms struck I would drive in the traffic where lots of other cars would be, or go to parking lots where there were lots of other parked cars. My faith in Physics (which I have a BSc in and 20 yrs industrial experience) only goes so far. Being in Sail boats at sea with large Aluminium Masts also concerned me when thunderstorms hit.
