A word to the wise on lightning strikes.

Lightning makes me very nervous when I'm in the woods. I have been in storms where there were multiple lightning strikes (ie. impacts) within 50 yds of me. Really makes you worry just a bit.

I was hit by what I gather was a large surge of static electricity when I was in college walking in a rain storm carrying an umbrella. Big flash and then a very sick feeling that something significant just happened. No damage... my grades improved after that. :)

The AM radio idea seems sound to me. I listen to talk radio a fair amount on AM.
