B.S. Man , super natural powers , able to swash out B.S. with a single foot turn , able to hurdle B.S. stacked up to the roof , able to get a dump truck load of B.S. poured on top of him and pop out smelling like a rose .... 

 

'ted , I have always heard , 1 second per mile or 1 mile per second , which ever floats you boat , know you  ----- but ---- I am not calling B.S. on you the King of B.S.

good info ^^^^ and one myth people don't think about is laying in a ditch, or low spot because, that's not for lightening, that's for a tornadoe, the more of you body on wet soil, the better chance of getting a close by static charge like i got, when my flip flops were blown off.... lol! I'd gladly take a chance with a tornadoe then a bolt of lightening..... tornadoes can be tracked, lightening ?? not a chance... lol!

now i got to convert meters into miles. try as they will, i'm still stuck on the old math. 🙃 i got the hang of 8 parts to a mile, riding thoroughbreds, could count them off while riding. 2 minute lick = 15 seconds, an 1/8th pole..[track slang].

closest i got was 65 feet. that just dont make sense... 20m = 65ft.?

yeah i agree with 10-15 miles as a standard, but , on water, i think the range could be further, I've never had a direct hit from 220 just a touch, but I've been tagged, 110.... ? for me it was a tingle, wouldn't wish to be hit by ether ever again.... lol! i guess electricity effects some people deferentially.... by all rights i should have been killed years ago..... go figure, with even had a johndeere tractor with a block heater 110 ..... no telling how many people that !!!!!! thing buzzed, i got a sign and stuck it on the window, (electric shock danger unplug before touching!) little did i know they thought it was a joke, because we played jokes of each other all the time..... didnt take long for Scott, bone, and moser to learn nope! this was not a joke haha! but all in all it wasn't a bad shock, just a tad worse the range runner electric fencer box, or hit from a spark plug,  i never did find out why that block heater would buzz you, but they are expensive, so i just chose not to replace it, i reckon i should have, but when we parked it outside the shop with a hay role on, not a single cow would touch it..... so it did have a positive side. (yeah yeah i know bad joke) lol!
