As a teenager, I was a lifeguard at Duke Power State Park, now Lake Norman State Park. The swimming area had a pier in deep water with a steel lifeguard chair. In big thunderstorms, lightning would strike the chair often. Fish would float to the surface after a strike, but some were just stunned. Many were well past stunned. But none cooked, as far as I could tell.

If you hear thunder, get out of the water.
