That is crazy, two groups is two, one with two dogs. Very sad.

Dang. After learning about these two unfortunate stories, I am going to be more conservative when storms come through. There was a time my son and I were headed down a ridge as a storm was coming in. I had my trekking poles strapped to my pack with the metal tip pointing up. I kept hearing a zst zst zst noise. I took my pack off and discovered the noise was coming from the tip of my trekking poles. When I held them handle side up there was nothing, but tip side up and I heard the zst zst zst again. We ran the rest of the way back to the rig. Scary stuff.

Ive had one experience where I was camped up on a high saddle and a storm came through at night. I could feel the static and my hair on my arms was standing up. Scary situation for sure.

There was a Wisconsin DNR employee that was killed by lightning as well.

Dang, that is crazy. I guess if you had to go and it was already written that is probably one of the better ways to go.
