Why is it a bad idea to shelter under a tree on a golf course during a thunderstorm?
first of all, lightning strikes the tallest object that it can find. this is because lightning is trying to find a way to the ground. trees are tall and catch the lightning before anything else because it is so tall. but second of all, the reason it is dangerous to stay under a tree is not because it might fall down. the actual reason is because the lightning heats the air around it. since it is close to the tree (the lightning) it heats up the tree. the sap in the tree expands so rapidly (because of the heat caused by the lightning) it causes the tree to literally explode! bark would be flying every where, and if you ask me, i wouldn't take refuge under a tree during a thunderstorm.
