Here, I'll introduce a new question for debate as we've basically already covered the rain one. Suppose you are out in the opening away from any trees or foilage, (you're standing on just grass), and you're standing in the middle of a thunderstorm. Now there are two situations. One, the rain has ceased from falling, you've managed to stay dry somehow, and the thunderstorm is still going on. Two, the rain is still going on as well as the thunderstorm, and you are drenched. Would you be more susceptible to be electricuted (hit directly) by lightning in situation 1 or 2?
