I have a sad story about this, I went on a backpacking trip in the rockies of New Mexico. It was at Philmont for boy scouts. While we were the on our 5th day on the trail we were going to climb a mountain. It pours rains every day with a raging thunderstorm around 3pm. We summited the mountain around 1pm. A troop that was hiking a bit slower than us got up later. We had passed them on the way up. The summit of the mountain is above the tree line. Needless to say it started raining when the other troop got up there, we were on our way down. It was a bad thunderstorm and the scoutmaster and his son of the other troop were struck by lightning. The scoutmaster died and the son was taken down when the rain stopped he was helicopter evac'd out of Philmont.
