The scariest thing I ever heard of lightning doing is
killing someone out of a clear blue sky, coming from
clouds that were hidden by mountains.

To believe that an errant lightening bolt could navigate around or over
the obstructing mountains, and then single someone out for a lethal
strike is a bit of a stretch, scary thing is that some people believe
this nonsense.

In case your FLAME was just a case of ignorance, you can look this stuff up
for yourself before your foot has to be inserted any further down your
mouth.
