explosions, that kind of power can go trough thing if it is the path if least resistance. if you were standing under a tree it could jump to you if you close enough. funny enough if you were wearing a full suit of armor it would go through the armor and not you and you would be fine.

Lightning can hit things like trees, which can land on roads and houses and cause car accidents. IF they hit things that are metal and you are touching them, you can get shocked or electrocuted. hope this helps! :)
