I would trust nature. That is, I would look for low ground and trust that the lightning is most likely to strike the high ground.

I would go golfiing. Or fly a kite attached to a key.
If you hide behind a bush instead of continuing to walk, your odds of being struck by lighting are drastically reduced, right?
Always trust nature, no matter what. Nature would never let one of its creatures die.

I don't trust nature. I'd hide until it passed.
