Annie don't feel bad about not going out in lightning. A very smart thing to do. A very good friend of mine was killed by lightning last year and it was a half hour after everyone thought the storm was over. The rule is you are not safe a half hour before and a half hour after you think there is a storm as well as during. Everyone should go to a site on lightning and get educated. It might save your ***. My friend left a wife and two small children behind.
