When charged particles in the storm clouds, Positive in the bottoms and Negative at the top, also known as the 'anvil', gather in clumps, they can be sent downwards in the form of lightning to connect to the positive charges in the Earth's soil. Lightning is 'lazy' and seeks a path of least resistance, and sometimes that path could be through a human body. They advise you not to stand next to trees because since they are tall, the lightning might decide to travel through them because they offer less resistance and it might hit you as well. Me, being a person who has experienced being struck by lightning can say that making yourself the tallest or largest object in the way of lightning is a foolish thing to do, because you will provide a path of least resistance for it to follow.
