No, lead cannot protect you from lightning. Lightning is a powerful electrical discharge that can travel through any conductive material, including lead. The best way to protect yourself from lightning is to seek shelter indoors or in a fully enclosed metal vehicle.

Well, the best answer i could give you is maybe hide under a shelter if you have made one. But, if you haven't then try to find a makeshift one that was naturally made.
Why should you avoid touching anything during a thunderstorm?
A flyer of kites who practices in a thunderstorm invites lightning to travel down the kite's line. And through the flyer. One of the "problems" with lightning is that it doesn't always kill those it strikes. It can horribly main and/or disable those who are struck. A victim can lose internal organs, a limb, or, possibly worse (if one can imagine it) suffer brain damage that changes the personality as well as reduces the mobility of the individual unfortunate enough to become part of lightning's path to ground. Don't even think about doing a Ben Franklin here. He didn't know what we do. Or he probably wouldn't have been out there doing that stuff. And you been warned, ait?Standing outside during a lightning storm is dangerous. They say that if you are close enough to the storm to hear the thunder then you are close enough to be struck by lightning. People have been struck by lightning when miles from the storm. To fly a kite during an electrical or lightning storm is inviting danger. Since the string is usually wet from the rain (water is a good conductor of electricity) it could complete the circuit between the ground and the storm and if you are near to or holding the string then you are part of the circuit. The string does not have to be wet though. Best to stay indoors and watch the magnificance of a thunderstorm through the window.
Is it safe to fish in the middle of a scattered thunderstorm?
No, it is not safe to fish in the middle of a scattered thunderstorm. Lightning poses a significant danger, and being on or near water increases the chances of getting struck. It is best to seek shelter indoors and wait until the storm passes before resuming any outdoor activities.

definitely NOT! Water is one of the major semiconductors for electricity. If the storm includes lightning, and it hits the water, you are just asking for electrocution

Unless you feel like tempting fate, you should avoid doing several things that can and have resulted in lightning injuries and fatalities: 1) Standing next to a tall tree or metal umbrella table during a storm 2) Standing on a rooftop, especially with grounded antennas or TV dishes nearby 3) Standing at the highest point of a hill during a storm 4) Using a landline, corded telephone during a storm (no fatalities recorded) 5) Grounding a wire clothesline by holding it during a storm
Does your horse need a stall if she goes under the cover of trees during a strom?
It would be best to provide a cover for the horse. It could be a simple roof on four posts or a three sided shelter. It should be noted that although trees are good for shade, during a storm they can and do attract lightning, which if it were to strike the tree the horse was standing under it would likely kill the horse.

Get to a basement or storm cellar if possible. If underground shelter is unavailable then a central room or closet (especially a bathroom) is the next best option. If caught in the open or in a car with no shelter available lie in a ditch, do not get under a bridge and do not stay in the vehicle.
