Title: Why Lightning Is Deadlier in Water Than on Land ⚡🌊 Description: You think lightning is dangerous on land? In water, it behaves very differently. On land, lightning energy spreads into the ground and loses intensity quickly as it disperses through soil and rock. But in water, it spreads across the surface and outward in all directions instead of grounding instantly. That means the electrical current doesn’t stay in one place. It travels. So even a strike dozens of meters away can still affect swimmers nearby. Did you know? Lightning can heat the air around it to nearly 30,000°C, hotter than the surface of the Sun. Did you know? Water conducts electricity efficiently because of dissolved ions like salts and minerals that allow electric charge to move easily. Same lightning— but a completely different behavior depending on the medium.

Fly fishing.
A big DUH since few realize that. In my day, that fact was known in 5th grade science class or figured out naturally.
That's why you never ever go outside or play outdoors when lightning is around..
How far does it go is what I wanted to know
