Rider struck by lightning in Colorado

http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news...56/detail.html

I'm still in Europe, but looked at the local news just to see what is happening. I've seen a rider almost struck by lightning, so close I thought it got them, and I've had a strike so close I zapped through the metal rod of an umbrella, but this one would have been bad news.

Do any of you take precautions for lightning?

I'll confess that after the near miss(I was getting something out of my hardbag in a parking lot) I was afraid of it for a while, but now I ride through storms. What about you?
