What's the rule with lightening?
Coming home last night, lightening striking all around us. Dangerous ground lightening. Hitting bridges, water towers, etc. You can see the bolts and the strikes.

Are we safe in the boat? Luckily there was no rain. Rain started 5 minutes after we got to the dock, but the lightening was scary and the flashes were close sometimes, though I never saw it hit the water at all.
