Because every time people are outside when it's raining lightning comes down and hits us.
There are no clear statistics. One estimate is that 24,000 people are killed by lightning strikes around the world each year and about 240,000 are injured. Another estimate is that the annual global death toll is 6,000.

According to NOAA, an average 40-50 people in the United States are killed by lightning each year. Lightning strikes are secondly only to flooding when it comes to deadly weather.
Well... 10,000 people are killed by lightning each year, 900 from hail, 52,000 from floods. So I'd say floods.
According to the National Safety Council, in the United States in 2004, 46 people were killed by lightning. The chance of dying from a lightning strike in a lifetime is 1 in 81,949. See this link: http://www.nsc.org/lrs/statinfo/odds.htm The mortality rate has been reported to be anything from between 32 percent to only 3 percent, meaning that the injury rate is between 3 to 30 times the amount of persons killed. It seems no one knows for sure. There are many unreported minor injuries from lightning that go without medical treatment. See "Lightning Injury Facts" http://www.uic.edu/labs/lightninginjury/ltnfacts.htm And "The Human Effects of Lightning Strikes and Recommendations for Storm Chasers" http://www.harkphoto.com/light.html
mostly the ones that don t have the sense to come inside during a storm
Lightning kills about 100 people in the US each year, and injures about 1000. So you have 10 chances in 11 (or about 91%) of surviving being struck by lightning. The maladies that a lightning strike to the body are varied and can last the rest of the lifetime.
Sharks do not eat people. They might seem like huge monsters to everyone but that is actually a stereotype. Movies such as jaws, give people the impression sharks are man eating monsters but research actually states that soda machines kill more people than sharks do. Each year, 17 000 are killed in car crashes. 10 000 people are killed by lightning. 5 people are killed by sharks.
110 to 140 people are killed a year by hurricanes
a estamated 1,836 people were killed
