      Show me your anger, please!

      If people would go outside all the time during thunderstorms with metal poles raised up, it wouldn’t be as rare. There’s a reason humans and animals hide from storms. And that’s the reason a lightning strike hitting a human is considered a rare event. When it isn’t even that rare.

      You guys just claim the buildings have lightning rods when you don’t even know.
