That official recommendation of sitting in a field in the prone "lightning" position when a storm rains down on you reminds me of when I was a boy driving home one afternoon when I happened upon a tornado, for a single split second I thought about what I had been told as to get out of the car and lie down in a ditch, may sound good in theory but in the moment of truth, I simply floored that little 72 Mustang and prayed the tornado wasn't going the same direction I was.
