It depends. Like say you got struck and your neighbor saw you get struck and he/she calls 911 right away, you could be saved. But if you get struck and no one comes to help you for a long time then you're a goner.

Do we humans need lightning to live?

No, lightning has only negative effects on humans. The effects lightning can cause includes killing people and animals, damaging property, and destroying wiring that runs a home's electricity or even for a whole area. Lighting is also annoying to humans, we have to close pools, cancel sports practices, and not take showers and/or baths(preferably). Lightning to some people is a beautiful effect in the nature of the sky, however the damage it can cause is something that humans do not need to live with.

Lightening can strike a jet, thunder does not 'strike' anything.

Thunder will not do damage to a Jet.


Is taking a shower safe during lightning storm?

No—in fact, the CDC encourages avoiding all water in your house during a thunderstorm. Your plumbing and the water coming out of it can conduct electricity if lightning strikes your home, and that can lead to you getting seriously hurt. Granted, this is a pretty rare occurrence, but experts still advise against it as an easy way to avoid something potentially fatal. You should wait half an hour after hearing the last boom of thunder before hopping into the shower.


Do you have a better chance of being struck by lightning or eaten by a shark?

Cow attacks. But this doesn't mean that cows are more dangerous than sharks, there are just more of them. Being attacked by a shark is much more dangerous than being attacked by a cow. However, the probabilty of the average man in the street actually being attacked by a shark is much lower than the probabilty of his being attacked by a shark.

Can lightning strike your TV even if you have lightning rods on your house?

I am not an electrician, but my belief is yes, lighting can take out your tV if you have lightning rods. The house across the road where I once lived, had massive lightning rods extending from both ends of the roof ends. It was struck by lighting and the house burned to the ground. Many trees were in the area. My well pumps and also wired smoke alarm detectors were blown. Approximately 30+ years ago, I was sitting in my living room watching a console TV that was physically placed in front of the picture window. A bolt came through the glass, went down to the receptacle, turned the tv on and blew the tube. It was no longer usable.
