In the USA alone every year, on average about 90 people are killed by lightning strikes. However, this figure also varies. In 2008 there were 329 people struck in the United States, with 302 injured and 27 killed. There is no safe place outside during a lightning storm. Of those killed, 7 were under trees, 3 were on the beach, 2 were swimming and one was camping near a tent.
You can get struck by lightning if you are holding a Lightning Rod, for example an umbrella is made of mental on the part you are holding. Lightning Rods actually attracts lightning. Never be under a tree either.
A word of Advice: Never hold something metal during a lightning storm, it is best to be inside.
If you search the statistics about lightning strikes, you shall see that in the united states the place with the most is the state of Florida. None of the strikes has been in the water opposed to the myth. The only time lightning seems to hit the sea is to end hitting a floatin boey.
Yes a lightning can strike you assuming you are at the specific time in the specific place. The statistics imply that it is more probable to get hit by a lightning than to be bitten by a shark or die in an airplane accident.
