Hell NO! Since I started commuting there has been three hits within a 1/2 mile of my route that resulted in fires. That's in 10 weeks. One was 500 ft. Last year a house in my neighborhood burned to the ground from a strike.

I sit them out till they pass, watch radar in the afternoon when wee know they are coming and leave early enough to miss them or I get a ride home. So far I have managed to sit them out or leave early and beat them. Now I am a key holder and I generally start an hour early work .5-2 hours late so I can be flexible on my leave times.
