"Umbrellas"
It is raining here, thunderstorms, lightening, all the fun stuff of spring (luckily no tornados today) and I have a stoopid question. Why do they make umbrellas out of metal when metal attracts lightening? To get to my vehicle I have a nice little walk and I have to use an umbrella or get really soaked and I was just curious as to why there was metal in umbrellas. Anyone know?

good question...perhaps plastic isn't as durable in the wind that sometimes follows the rain?

But, you would think that a durable plastic would be better because it would go with the flow rather than snapping in the wind.
The thing I hate about umbrellas are the ones that are supposed to open with a push of a button and they don't and I'm left standing there like an idiot in the rain.

*has had way too many umbrellas snap*

I'm not sure but I think lightening always follows the shortest route to ground.
Unless I was in an open area where I was the tallest object (like a golf course) I would not worry. Lightening should (I think) go for a taller object to seek it's way to ground.

what I hate is how they are always in the car if you are in the office or alway sat the office if you are in the car.
I have 4 umbrellas and none of them are ever where I need them to be.

perpetually soggy.
