That is really sad.
Thunderstorms are the only weather i actively avoid, because 1: I'm on a metal object 2: lot of overhead wires & trees & 3: I REALLY love being alive.
I really check radar in OCD style all most every time i stop on my phone to see if i should seek nearby shelter or continue further. 80% of the time, i get in ((be it home or a place i can wait it out for hours) when its drizzling before the main body of the storm hits. A few times i've been caught out - one time i walked my bike to shop in town & got caught walking to friends house at the local middle school - i always checked since then.
