        <![CDATA[ We had a lively lightning storm last night here in Texas and I got to thinking about what action to take  if I were out on patrol. I was always told don&#39;t
go under trees or if in the open find the lowest point a ditch or depression. I haven&#39;t seen anything discussed here or else where about taking shelter
when on patrol and a lightning storm comes in. what do you do if 1. you are in a heavily wooded area. 2. wide open pasture type terrain. ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ This is my first post. Sorry it&#39;s an old thread, but as I have an aquaintance who&#39;s been in ICU for three months after a lightning strike and so few
people take it seriously, this is a subject I think is important.
<br>
<br>
Above is some great advice. I think it is important to note that there is no &quot;right way&quot; to sit in the open, though. Some current training suggests

			<description><![CDATA[ stack arms and disperse is the best thing to do.....I agree with the pervious posts. We had several of them when I was in basic and AIT. we always stacked arms
with our M16 lightning rods, and grounded our steel pot helmets and sat in open fields at least 15 feet from the next guy till it was over. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ If you stop moving keep your feet as close together as possible. You can be electrocuted even without a direct hit, if your feet are apart there can be a

			<description><![CDATA[ So far you have it right. 1. wooded areas: hunker down &amp; perhaps find some insulating gear between you &amp; the gound ( works for open terrain too.) 2.
open pastures: Don&#39;t raise your weapon and start doing your impression of &quot;singing in the rain&quot;, seriously don&#39;t be the tallest thing either.
In your area you also might want to be aware of river beds, ditches &amp; valley type areas. Even though they may be dry now with storms in the area they can
become a flowing... ]]></description>
