Because lightning attempts to travel along the easiest way to the ground, which, if you are standing, might include you. And because people are stupid enough to frequently go outside on open ground during a thunderstorm.
Which of the following is an appropriate action if you are caught outside in a thunderstorm Lie face down in a ditch or seek shelter under a highway overpass or squat down low and cover your head?
If you are caught outside in a thunderstorm.. always remember to avoid the tallest object (example: avoid tall trees; if you must, take shelter under small trees). Avoid water at all costs! If possible, avoid all trees and metal objects. Squat low to the ground and try and make yourself as small of a target as possible. If you were to lie on the ground, this would make yourself a larger target.
What is the worst place to be during a thunderstorm?
The worst place to be during a Thunderstorm is anywhere that lightning would find attraction. So under a metal awing, near metal outside, under a tree or group of trees, etc. Lightning will search for a place to "go to ground". "Go to ground" in this case means electrical grounding, not the ground of earth. However, since earth now contains many places that attract lightning, the lightning "goes to ground" at the Earth's ground.
