<p>We all know the general lightning guidelines, but what if I am above tree-line and caught in a freak lightning storm. Is it better to:</p> <ol> <li>Run like mad to toward the trees </li> <li>Lie flat, and find religion </li> <li>Find any imperfection in my surroundings (boulders, creek-bed) and try to wedge myself between / below it.</li> </ol>
