Lightning (powerful stuff)

Here's one for the nature lover or nature buff, and it's a real crowd pleaser!

We all know lightning is powerful stuff, and a single targeted bolt of lightning makes high tension wires seem like child's play.

Lightning always strikes the tallest object, which makes radio transmitting towers ideal (but a sturdy aluminum ladder set up on wet ground in a open field will do in a pinch).

For this example, we'll assume you can access a tower.

Be sure to pack a lunch, your raincoat, a stopwatch, plenty of tinfoil, and your ALUMINUM umbrella.

Aluminum is a fabulous conductor, and an open umbrella will keep you dry as well.

Ascend the transmitter tower right before the storm approaches (the tingle you may feel is just the signal, don't worry).

As you clutch the top, with the red beacon flashing in your face, secure yourself to the tower with your belt.

Try to reach the top before it starts raining; otherwise the tower will be slippery and you could fall and injure yourself.

When you hear the first clap of thunder, grasp the aluminum shaft of the umbrella (NOT THE PLASTIC HANDLE) in your right hand and, in your left, grip a section of the tower.

YOU BECOME THE CONNECTION BETWEEN BOLT AND TOWER.

Don't forget to wrap the tinfoil around your forearms securely.

With your stopwatch, time the difference between the thunder and the lightning.

At about the one-second mark, you should be there.

Pay no mind to the crowd on the ground. Just yell back that you can't hear them yelling, "JUMP!" Don't worry, it's traditional.

If by some unfortunate chance the storm passes you by, simple - just do a swan dive (being careful not to injure onlookers).

TIP—Bring along weenies or marshmallows and a cellular phone (to talk to the press while you're waiting). Don't get there too long in advance.
