Sinossi

"Lightning Strike Odds" explores the science behind lightning strikes, specifically focusing on the risks faced by hikers, runners, and other outdoor enthusiasts. The book emphasizes understanding the probabilities of lightning strikes in different outdoor scenarios, and the often-underestimated dangers of ground current and step potential. For example, the book highlights that even when not directly struck, the voltage difference between your feet—step potential—can pose a significant electrocution risk.

 
The book uniquely quantifies risk, offering actionable strategies based on data-driven analysis, moving beyond general advice. It begins by explaining atmospheric electricity and lightning formation, then progresses through statistical data on lightning strikes, the physics of ground current, and practical guidelines for assessing risk on open trails. This approach helps readers understand how factors like geographic location, elevation, and time of day influence lightning strike odds.

 
Ultimately, "Lightning Strike Odds" aims to empower individuals to make informed safety decisions by understanding statistical probabilities and lightning's electrical behavior on the ground. By examining real-world case studies and integrating meteorological data with electrical engineering principles, the book provides a comprehensive guide to mitigating lightning strike risks in various outdoor activities.
