i was in mississippi last week, doing a military flight. the troops were loading the bags, it started rai,ning, appearantly there was lighting about 20 miles away they pulled all the guys in and stopped loading the bags, after that they came back. it happend about 4 times. we ended up timing out and couldn't go anywhere then. point is, i wouldnt nor would i want anybody being hurt because of lightning. it can strike anywhere anytime.
