When lightening charge pass through an area, there is the tendency to strike the tallest point in that vicinity. So its not advisable to be in the open field when its raining b/c you are now the tallest point within that vicinity and likely to attract electric charges.

Story seems baked to me. Lightening strikes once at a spot. Were all 9 players at one spot?
If this story was true,by now the media should have captured videos or pictures. Sorry I don't believe tongue
If a live wire were to fall onto a wet ground while it's raining, do you think people standing within a defined range with no insolation wouldn't be electrocuted?
Even if they don't touch the wire itself, the wet ground will conduct the electricity.

Same concept applies to lighten strikes, you can still get electrocuted if you're standing close to where the lightening falls, even if it doesn't directly hit you.

Reminds me of FUTO 2009.

Lightening struck 2 people dead.

One na prayer warrior, the other is member of Man 'o war.

Prayer warrior died instantly, while man-o-war dies at the hospital...heard they were sharing same umbrella yet....
