If a lightning strike were to strike a muddy patch of ground how far away could you stand without being hurt?

Answer:

Answer

If lightning hit mud, it probably wouldn't travel that far. If you were not worried about your sight or hearing, it would probably be safe up to 40-50 feet away. I wouldn't recomend staning in mud during a thunderstorm though.
