Ever heard - don’t stand under trees during lightning storms?
I thought we knew not to take cover under trees, the most dangerous place to take cover when lightening is involved?
Don't people know not to stand under a tree in a storm? Don't you learn that in preschool? What kind of idiots are these people?
This is something you learn as a child, never, ever stand under a tree in a thunderstorm!
“Pine trees are to be banned” sources said.
IF THAT'S NOT A SIGN FROM GOD I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD?
I’ve lost 6 friends to lightning. I live in CO, it’s common here. Gosh folks, don’t sit under a tree. Don’t be the tallest thing and if you can get to your car if in a storm.
How many times do people need to be told never to stand under trees in a thunderstorm!? 🤦♀️

Do hope none of six were seriously hurt.Just shows how dangerous storms can be when they are in full flow.Good luck to those injured for a speedy recovery & best wishes to their families & friends who will be worried about their welfare.This is coming from Wales, Britain
Can’t believe people don’t know they aren’t supposed to stand under a tree during lightening storm.
God bless them
When you hear it; fear it.
It was looking for tRUMP.
They shouldn't have been under a pine tree. That simple! 🤷♂️
Golf is such a boaring sport. How can anyone watch it
Ban all pine trees immediately
That it didn’t happen at Mar-a-Lago is disappointing
Thank God non-life-threatening.
When the world sees these pix from the USA we think it's just another mass shooting.
For the record, it’s not “the PGA Championship.”
The worst place to be in a thunderstorm is under a tree.
Even God wants to make televised golf more exciting.
