Im assuming you meant the odds are low?
No, I was being sarcastic. However after re-reading that I can see how in the context of the next sentence it might be mis-construed.

I may be more paranoid because as a child my house was hit by lightning twice in a row. My mother was standing right near where it hit and lost 30% of her hearing for a long time. Since then I dont take chances. Why bother taking the chance in the first place? Remember the biker who got struck just last week?
Wow. Twice in a row? Your folks should have gone out and bought a lottery ticket.
Yes, I remember the biker. Yeah, that happens all the time too. I can't go a week without reading about some biker who got struck by lightning. Oh wait, maybe I can.

What do platypi have to do... oh, got ya. I agree with everything you said. I just think some parents get a little carried away with being protective. I just read an article somewhere (sorry, it was last week and a lot has happened since then) talking about the kids of the later baby-boomers and how when they go off to college their parents are even controlling everything they do there. Helping them schedule classes, meeting with professors to discuss low grades on an exam, etc. This is a by-product of that type of thinking.
Am I going to tell my kid to go fly a kite in the freeway? No. But playing in the rain on the extreme unlikely chance that they get struck by lightning? Please.
Now if they had been out in the pool I would have certainly got them out of there.
Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

After my first rainstorm in Southern Califoreignia, I was astonished. I had grown up where it rained - I was used to it. I saw a solo spin-out - the guy hit a slick spot on the "fwy" and just spun out - it was a miracle no one was hurt.
Later I went to a store. Large puddles were forming in the parking lot. I saw several people march right through them... then "OH SH*T!" They stopped dead in their tracks and looked down as they suddenly realized their feet were soaking wet! They didn't have the sense to walk around puddles. They were so taken aback they had to stop and look and think a while to figure out what the hell had just happened (or they'd done too many chemicals in the 60s....).

I just want to affirm that everything EvilGnomes said above is true. During every rainstorm here (you know, about once every two years or so :) people behave as if they've never seen one before.
Generally, I'm not afraid to drive anywhere in Southern California. I've seen people drive in Paris, London, and it scares me. A lot. When it rains, however, I'd rather be anywhere but here.
lol yea..I live a couple states down from the ones seen there..Bad flooding and all( if its the storm were talking about dunno if were on the same page) Its actually sad since actually somehting bad can happen to them.
yea..If its the storm I think that ure talking abou tthats bad. Also It led to flooding around my state and NJ amd maryland and deleare..its sad though..They can actually get hurt.

85% of the people struck by lightning are men. No joke.

That's because all the women are safely inside cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the babies.

or theyre a little more smart when it comes to knowing whats safe and what isnt?
My parents and I were driving on the highway (pretty much in a thunderstorm), and not so long after my mom told us that fact my dad pointed at a radio tower and joked, "I bet I can climb that thing!" We smiled, then Mom said: "See? I bet that's why 85% struck are men!"
